The collection scope for gifts to the University Archives must pertain to the history of the university. The University Archives collects from donors print materials and artifacts that usually are works of art. Donated materials to the archives must pertain to the history, people, and events surrounding either the University, the Mound in Sinsinawa, Wisconsin, the Sisters or subjects pertaining to the mission of Dominican University with a special focus on the past or present curriculum, general institutional procedures, and artifacts that may hold significant historic value. There are no date restrictions on gifted materials donated to the archives. All formats of materials may be accepted. However, due to physical space restrictions, not all gift or donations can be added to the collection. The archives may coordinate with cross-campus partners to determine if the donation would best fit the scope of their collections.
