The Archives & Special Collections acquires many of its materials through generous donations from friends of Davidson and by the transfer of inactive records from college employees.

Davidson College EmployeesTransfer College Records
Employees of the college in every job create and store records every day. Records identified in Davidson’s records retention schedules should be transferred to the archives when they are no longer actively used. Information about the records we collect and the process for transferring them to the archives can be found in Documenting Davidson College, our records management guide.
