Administrative History

The L. Tom Perry Special Collections University Archives (1999- ) preserves records documenting the history of Brigham Young University and its people as well as their impact on the Latter-day Saint Church and society.

The University Archives is responsible for processing and managing university related records and assisting patrons and university administrators access these materials. The materials that compose the University Archives are either transferred directly from departments within the university or donated, often by alumni or former professors.

In 1999, when the Department of Special Collections and Manuscripts became the L. Tom Perry Special Collections, the University Archives became the unit it is today.
