What criteria are used to determine what will be accepted as a donation?
The following general criteria are to be used to determine if a faculty member's papers will be accepted into the Archives and Special Collections (although each donation is considered on a case-by-case basis):
Faculty member's academic reputation and output as a scholar
Faculty member's involvement in departmental and/or university affairs
Extent to which the faculty member's papers enhance the documentation of university history by complementing existing holdings or filling gaps
Faculty member's involvement in organizations and institutions related to his/her academic discipline
