Transferring Archival Records

Records which are identified as archival, and have met their retention period, should be transferred to the University Archives. Please contact John Bolcer, the UW Archivist, at 685-2352 or jdbolcer@u.washington.edu.

If records are stored at the University Records Center and their retention period has ended, they will be transferred to the University Archives once your office has signed off on your Disposition Notification.

When transferring records directly to the University Archives it is best to contact the University Archivist (206 685-2352) to discuss initial appraisal.  The Archives requires submission of a records transfer list using the spreadsheet template posted on the Special Collections website (www.lib.washington.edu/specialcoll/collections/donating.html). Once the transfer list is created, you can contact the Archivist to arrange for box pick-up.
