Drexel’s student organizations can preserve their history by transferring materials to the University Archives. These materials shed light on student life and on the academic experience at Drexel. 

Typical materials accepted by the University Archives include:  

• Constitutions, charters, and by-laws 
• Organizational histories 
• Minutes and reports of meetings and committees 
• Correspondence and memoranda (incoming and outgoing) and subject files concerning projects, activities, and functions 
• Aggregate financial records such as treasurer’s reports 
• Membership lists 
• Publications such as newsletters 
• Promotional materials such as fliers, posters, brochures, and event programs 
• Scrapbooks and photographs 
• Audiovisual recordings of the organization’s activities and events 

Please do not submit: 

• Duplicate or blank forms 
• Detailed financial records, canceled checks, bank statements, or receipts 
• Most three-dimensional objects such as plaques or trophies 

If you have records you would like to transfer or donate, please check with us first by emailing archives@drexel.edu so we can discuss the materials and ensure they are a good fit for the University Archives.
