Archives existing in colleges, universities, or other educational facilities are usually grouped as academic archives. Academic archives typically exist within a library, and duties may be carried out by an archivist or a librarian.
Academic archives exist to celebrate and preserve the history of their school and academic community.
The inventory of an academic archive may contain items such as papers of former professors and presidents, memorabilia related to school organizations and activities, and items the academic library wishes to remain in a closed-stack setting, such as rare books or thesis copies.
It is always a good idea to contact an academic archive before visiting, as the majority of these institutions are available by appointment only.
Many academic archives work closely with alumni relations to help raise funds for their library or school.
