Archival Resources
This page is designed as a resource for the Watson School of Education in the area of records management. With the move to the new education building anticipated for Fall, 2004, many people will be clearing out old files, records and artifacts. It is hoped that the information provided here will help people know what items may be disposed of, which need to be retained and what needs to go to University Archives.
