The heart and soul of this fine institution remains its' students and the experience they gain while obtaining their education. Collecting student organizational records is one way in which the University Archives is documenting those experiences. Depositing records of student organizations in the University Archives
- insures a permanent record of your organization's activities and achievements
- promotes alumni relations
- aids in future fund raising activities
- makes them available for exhibits, publications and websites
- aids future researchers in documenting the full ECU experience
Types of records to be saved:
- Meeting minutes
- Newsletters
- Photographs
- Flyers
- Membership lists
- Constitution & Bylaws
- Publications
- Printed versions of your website
- Audio/Video tapes, CD's and DVD's
- Correspondence
- Reports
The University Archives is your resource for preserving your organization's contributions to ECU. We can provide help with records management and document preservation issues to insure your legacy. The University Archivist is available to discuss transfer of records to the archives.
Oral history is another way that the university is preserving memories of individual students. We are looking for anecdotes regarding
- participation in student organizations
- athletics
- dorm life
- professors and classes
Oral histories are transcribed and made available in the archives and on-line:
