The purpose of this guideline is to assist faculty members in identifying records that might be suitable for long-term preservation in the University Archives. Overall, records that meet these criteria are those that are generated from activities that are significant to MUSC.
Please note that records belonging to individuals are as varied as the careers that produced them; the context of their creation influences their content, form, arrangement, and usefulness for research. Generalizations about what records might have archival value are further complicated by the difficulty of predicting what might be of greatest value to future researchers. The following should serve only as a basis for discussion between the records creator and the archivist.
Faculty, both current and former, are encouraged to donate records from their professional tenure with the Medical University of South Carolina.
This series contains records created by faculty administrative activities at the Medical University of South Carolina and its affiliated teaching hospitals. Please note that where faculty members hold a major administrative role in an office or department, the records generated by that office or department should remain with the creating organization. For example, a faculty member who is also a Dean or department chair may create reports, correspondence, or personnel evaluations in that role; these records should remain in the office of the Dean or department.
