Other options for donating materials

Consider donating to Better World Books. Drop-off locations are all around the metro area. Donated books are sold online to help raise funds for non-profit literacy organizations for teaching kids, supporting families, building schools and filling libraries. 

Donate to the Archives

For all donations and transfers, please contact the University Archivist in advance.

Donors such as alumni or members of the general public with historical materials for the Archives will be required to sign a Deed of Gift Form.

If the value of the gift potentially exceeds $1,000, the University Archivist must have approval from the University’s Gift Acceptance Committee prior to acceptance. Webster University Archives does not provide appraisal services.

University records transferred from an office or department do not require a signed Deed of Gift Form but must be approved in advance by the University Archivist.

For detailed information about how to donate and what kind of materials we accept, please visit the donation page on the University Archives website:
