Northern BC Archives staff will request your completion of this Gifting Agreement Form after receiving your donated material. Any questions about the form can be directed to archives@unbc.ca

Completion of this form is required when you hold any copyright in the materials you are donating to Northern BC Archives. You are likely a copyright holder if you created any of the material yourself and/or if you inherited the estate of the original creator of the material. Copyright is complex. Any questions about this form can be directed to archives@unbc.ca.

This policy defines the mandate, acquisitions policy, scope of collections, types of materials and formats acquired by the University’s Northern BC Archives and Special Collections. Its purpose is to provide clear guidance for material acquisitions, to determine areas of acquisition needs, and to define the parameters of acquisition within which the Archives must function. It is the intent of this policy to ensure that materials acquired meet the teaching and academic research needs of the university community as well as the research needs of the public in general.

These guidelines lay out acquisition criteria for archival and Special Collections library materials.
