What Should be Archived?

Uppsala University is obliged to archive public documents, regardless of medium, from the business. The authority's archives must reflect the activities and are, according to the Archives Act, part of the national cultural heritage.

Uppsala University's central archive contains documents from the university's central operations, but also from certain departmental archives. In addition to these archives, there are also archives from other activities that have had a connection to the university.

Electronic archiving

The documents that are received and created only digitally and uploaded in the W3D3 diary are also archived in UU's e-archive.
However, the documents that are received on paper or drawn up and signed manually, which are then also scanned and loaded into the W3D3 diary, must be archived in the paper archive.

Erasing of documents

Certain public documents must be removed from the university's archives after a certain period of time or in connection with specific factors.
