Donations to the Archives

Archives and Special Collections accepts materials from university faculty, staff, and outside individuals and organizations. For information on the types of materials we collect, contact:

Mark Vajcner
University Archivist (for donation of archival materials)

Conditions of Donation
All donation offers receive serious consideration by Archives and Special Collections. Donations of material are accepted with the understanding that the University becomes the sole owner, and reserves the ultimate right to determine retention, location, organization, and other considerations related to its use or disposition. For archival materials copyright remains with the donor/creator.

Tax Receipts
All gifts to Archives and Special Collections are considered charitable donations, and are eligible for tax receipts based on appraisal for fair market value. In order to issue a tax receipt Archives and Special Collections requires the donor to sign a donation agreement.

Archives and Special Collections arranges appropriate, fair market appraisals for all donations that involve tax receipts.

Because of limited staffing, and the extensive amount of work required in organizing an archival collection, no guarantee is made that tax receipts will be issued in the year of donation.
