The University Archives participates in the records management program at Loyola University Chicago. Records in both digital and physical formats are accepted.

Records should be transferred to the Archives according to the records retention guidelines. Please put records in a storage/bankers box or copy paper box. Files should be placed in the box in the order in which they were kept in the filing cabinet or other storage area. All boxes should be numbered beginning with 1 (ex. 1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc.) and labeled as to which office they are coming from. Please include email a list of the files being transferred to the University Archivist at kyoung3@luc.edu .

Please call the University Archives at 773.508.2661 with any questions.
