Mandate
Under the Statutes of Trinity College, the College Archivist is directed to "advise on the management and disposition of College records and to acquire, preserve, and make available for use those College and other records of archival importance to the College." As a result, the Archivist:
- provides records management services to the College by developing policies, standards, and procedures governing the maintenance, use, and final disposition of records in all formats;
- identifies College records of enduring value that document the development of the College, that provide evidential information of decisions, activities, concerns, and needs, and that contain information of operational, administrative, legal, fiscal, or research value;
- acquires records from private sources that are important to the College in helping to document its history and that of the people and organizations important to it;
- manages the physical condition of the holdings in order to ensure present and future access; and
- makes available the holdings for operational and research purposes.
