The University Archives is the repository for a broad range of materials, including official office records, printed publications, photographs, and memorabilia, documenting the history and present activities of the University of Maryland, and in particular, the College Park campus. The holdings of the University Archives are strongest in the post-1916 period.

Purpose Statement

The functions of the University Archives are to acquire, arrange, describe, and preserve all forms of documentation of the history and administration of the University of Maryland; to provide reference assistance to University of Maryland students, faculty, and administrators and off-campus researchers; to assist campus units in determining appropriate retention periods for their records; and to disseminate information about the holdings of the University Archives through bibliographic instruction, exhibits, and campus publications.
