April is Records and Information Management Month

Did you know? April is Records and Information Management Month!

Is your inbox overflowing? Is your shared drive a jungle? Need help with your bulging filing cabinets? Not sure how to handle records during personnel changes?  University Archives and Records Management (UARM) can help!

What UARM offers all university employees: 

Consultation: University Archives and Records Management staff are available via phone and email during University business hours. Feel free to contact us with questions you may have about records; we’re here to help!

Training: UARM training can be found on the WWU Training Portal. We are offering two trainings in April: Managing Your Records at Western on April 18, and Digital Records Management on April 24. UARM also provides tailored training to individuals and program units upon request.

Storage: The University Archives and Records Center provides storage for paper records, both archival and non-archival, and for digital archival records. To transfer paper records, contact Rachel Thompson (x6654). For questions relating to digital records storage, contact Tony Kurtz (x3124).

Archives: UARM is also the official repository for preserving the historical records of WWU (paper or digital). We also provide expert assistance in accessing the university’s historical archives. Contact Tony Kurtz (x3124) to determine if your records need to be transferred, or if you need to do historical research in the archives.
