The University of British Columbia Archives serves as the institution's corporate memory by identifying, preserving, and making available for use the University's permanently valuable records, including textual, photographic, and audio-visual materials. The Archives also acquires records of independent student, alumni, and employee organizations; private papers from prominent faculty and alumni; University publications; and select research collections.
The Archives also coordinates the University's records management programme; supports the administration by preserving evidence of past decisions and events; serves in a public relations capacity by disseminating information about UBC's history; and supports academic research through the provision of reference services and specialized research tools.
