The DePaul University Archives preserves and provides access to university records of historical value. The history of DePaul can then be saved and studied by those with need to access the information, whether they are university personnel seeking documents they created in the past, alumni and students looking for yearbooks or student newspapers or researchers engaged in historical studies.
The preservation of and access to these records in archives means that university personnel can transfer papers to archives for permanent retention for future use and that researchers can locate information about the university and its history. In carrying out the activity of preserving materials for use, the archives appraises, collects, organizes, describes and provides tools for accessing materials that have permanent legal, fiscal, administrative and historical value that are no longer needed by the office that generated these records.
