Transfers refer to materials considered property of Indiana University (including IUN). These records or property may be transferred from an office, department, school, or unit to the IU Northwest Archives and Special Collections. Please note that the archives accept inactive records. If you have active records that your office is managing, please do not send those along. The archivist is willing to discuss this further upon request. Please consult the IUN Transmittal Form and the procedures page for university record transfers.
Donations refer to materials that are owned by others, rather than Indiana University. These materials may be donated to the IU Northwest Archives and Special Collections. Please consult the Deed of Gift Form for donations.
