Adopting and Adapting Records Management to College and University Archives

---

Abstract

A comprehensive records management program has proven an elusive goal at many college and university archives, partially because of the development of college and university archives out of the manuscript tradition. A 1987 survey of archives at twelve universities showed that the archives are modifying records management to suit their particular situation while continuing traditional archival services. Elements of an archives and records management program are discussed with particular emphasis on adopting and adapting certain records management techniques to fit individual college and university archives.
