University Archives

Mission

The mission of the University Archives is to collect, arrange, describe, preserve and make accessible Global Campus records of permanent, historical, and administrative value and to disseminate information about the holdings of the Archives through research, campus publications, exhibits, and online resources. The ultimate goal of the Archives is to create a permanent, living record of the historical heritage of the University's unique role in the development and evolution of continuing and adult education.

Note about the University's name change
The name UMUC/University College will be used in historical context when identifying and describing archival materials on the Archives website, repository, and blog.  Any items created after July 1, 2019 will reflect the new name: University of Maryland Global Campus. See the Archives Guidelines on UMUC/University College Name for details.
