News and Updates from University Archives and Records Management

New Policy FAQ

University Archives and Records Management (UARM) has created a Records Management Policy FAQ to accompany the new records management policy approved over the summer. This policy, POL-U4910.03 Managing University Records, provides a framework for meeting existing statutory obligations to manage university records and incorporates many of the practices and structures already in place at WWU. The FAQ provides answers to most common questions about the policy, but if you have additional questions about the policy, please feel free to contact Tony Kurtz (x3124) or Rachel Thompson (x6654).

Records Management Training

This quarter, UARM will be holding three records management classes, including a new class on managing emails. You can sign up for any one of our classes via the new PageUp Learning Portal:

Managing Your Records on Wednesday, October 24 at 2PM

Digital Records Management on Thursday, November 1 at 10AM

Managing Your Email on Tuesday, November 6 at 2PM

(We do recommend that you attend Managing Your Records before attending Digital Records Management or Managing Your Email, so that you are already familiar with the basic concepts and rules of records management.)
