Toward university archives & records management at Al Akhawayn University

The “Toward University Archives & Records Management at AUI” project represents a significant step towards enhancing archival and records management practices at Al Akhawayn University. By conducting a comprehensive survey of physical records, the project aims to lay the groundwork for the establishment of future university archives, while also celebrating the institution’s rich history and achievements during its 30th-anniversary celebrations in 2025. As the archivist responsible for the project, my presentation aims to share my experience conducting the survey across different units of the university, as well as the various techniques and skills utilized during the initial phase of the project. In addition to this, the presentation will also shed light on the importance of establishing the university’s archives and the plan moving forward.
