The Archives and Collections actively seeks to develop our holdings through donations and by purchasing examples of prizewinning student work at Degree Shows each year. Our Collections Development Policy outlines the areas we are interested in collecting and our Acquisition Decision Guide gives more details about how we decide what to add to our holdings. Our Acquisition: Transfer of Title Form explains the transfer process. Further information for GSA staff about transferring departmental records to the Archives and Collections is available in our Archival Selection Guidelines.
