• & a State Government Archive(Open Records Law for democratic accountability)
• & an Educational Institution Archive(FERPA & GLB protection)
• & a Home for Associated Archives of scholarly societies
Records Management Program
• Front end of archiving program
• Educates, advises and stores to prevent illegal destruction
• Provides secure and documented destruction for items not of archival value
• Channels items or archival value to archives• ….so, it’s all automatic…

• Beyond state mandated items must work to collect fun stuff that shows life at UGA – photos, posters, diaries, scrapbooks, lithographs, painted gourds, etc.
