Archives

The University of Lethbridge Archives is responsible for collecting and preserving noncurrent official records which document the University’s fulfillment of its functions of teaching, research, and public service.  In essence, it houses much of the institution’s memory.  Among its objectives are the following:

• To appraise, acquire, arrange, describe, preserve and make available records of historical value;
• To provide adequate facilities for the maintenance of such records;
• To serve as an information resource for teaching and learning;
• To serve research and scholarship by making holdings available to members of the academic community and of the community at large;
• To provide information services that assist in the administration of the University;
• To promote knowledge and understanding of the University’s origin, aims, programs, and goals;
• To work in concert with Records management to facilitate efficient records management.

Archival materials selected for inclusion include:
meeting minutes, correspondence, announcements, university publications, videos, audio tapes, personal papers, reports, building plans, photographs, posters, drama productions, artifacts, theses and dissertations.

While there are some restrictions on availability, most records are made available to patrons through an extensive reference service including:
