Donate to the Archives

The UHCL Archives welcomes donations of archival materials that fit within our official UHCL Archives & Special Collections Collection Policy.

If you have original historical archival materials (such as papers, records, audiovisual materials, maps, blueprints, etc.) that fit into one of our three collecting areas, the UHCL Archives and Special Collections will consider such materials for donation to add to its holdings. Not all materials offered for donation to the UHCL Archives will be accepted, depending on a number of factors—including whether the Archives already has similar or duplicate materials, whether another archives already collects the materials to make them a better fit as a long-term repository, and how useful the content of the materials will be for researchers.

The UHCL Archives does not accept materials without first physically seeing and reviewing the content, condition, and extent of the materials.
