The University Archives
The University Archives' mission is to preserve and build the institutional, administrative, research and cultural heritage of the University of Calgary. In pursuit of this mission, the Archives is responsible for the management of two related programs.
The Archival Program ensures the preservation of the academic, cultural and research heritage of the University. Under this program the Archives acquires and maintains all records of permanent value created and received by the various governing bodies of the university and its officials. In addition to the institutional records of the University of Calgary, the Archives aggressively acquires private records which pertain to areas of research pursued on campus. Included amongst these are the political development of Western Canada and post-secondary education in Southern Alberta.
Through its Information Management Program (IMP) the Archives provides leadership in record-keeping literacy, and develops record-keeping rules that ensure the creation, management and preservation of reliable records which are trustworthy as evidence. The Information Management Program also provides advice on and develops electronic record-keeping strategies for the University of Calgary community.
The University Archives is located on the 12th floor of the MacKimmie Library Tower. Research services are available Monday to Friday, from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.
