Since the value of records might be reduced if they are
separated, reorganized or reshuffled, donors are urged to contact
the University Archives staff regarding any materials that they
are thinking of donating.
The final step in donating material to the University Archives
is a formal deed of gift agreement form, that transfer the legal
title of the material to the Archives. Although this is a standard
document, it may be customized to meet the desires of the donor.
Generally, the University Archives will not accept any donation
unless legal title is transferred to the Archives.
