DONATIONS OF MATERIALS
The SUASC will continue to consider accepting donations to their collections.
All donors are still encouraged to read and consider the Archives Collection Development policy before sending any materials.
During this time, however, the SUASC requests that any potential physical donations that are not from on-campus offices be sent via United States Postal Service to the following address:
Attn: Ms. Frances Marshall
Ruth Scarborough Library
Please include a short description of the item(s) being donated, any background you have on the material, and whether or not you want them back if the archives cannot use them.
Any and all physical donations will be quarantined for a week to lessen the potential risk of COVID-19 spread.
