University Records

Transferring or Donating Records

The University Archives is the official repository for all materials of enduring value to the University of Alaska. Administrative offices, colleges and schools, academic departments, institutes and committees, and student groups are asked to regularly transfer historically valuable records. Significant records include publications, meeting minutes, project files, publicity materials, correspondence, and photographs.

University Records for University Staff

All university offices, committees, and departments create or maintain records of enduring value. These records document the functions and activities of the University at a given point in time and may have significance and usefulness long after their creation. These are documents that are vital to the ongoing operation of the University and are records of administrative, legal, financial, or historical importance.

University Records

The University Archives contains the historically significant records of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks from its beginning as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines (1914-1935) to the present, including papers of the Statewide offices of the University of Alaska. These records date back to the school's founding in 1917 and document the growth and development of the university from a rural technical college to a leading research institution.
