Special Collections Library

Penn State University, like all organizations, creates and maintains records as evidence of its activities. There are thousands of different types of records in a university, including academic records such as transcripts, financial records such as budgets, and administrative records such as the minutes of the Board of Trustees.

The information in records, and the legal evidence of activity they provide, must be managed for the University to operate efficiently and in compliance with laws and regulations. Records management is the systematic control of those records, throughout their life cycle. At Penn State, this program is operated by the University Archives.

The Records Management Web pages provide more detailed information about the policies and services of the program.
