About

The Archives collects records, manuscripts, and memorabilia from campus departments, retired faculty, staff, and alumni. We also collect university and departmental publications such as student recruitment brochures, course catalogs, publications commemorating special events, UVU Magazine, departmental journals and newsletters, and faculty and student publications. Many of these are now available in our Digital Collections.

Oral History

Along with our student oral history projects, we also house these exciting oral history collections:

• Peace Activist Oral History Project
• Vietnam Era Project

• Oral History Permission/Donation Form

Mission

The Sutherland Archives at Utah Valley University serves as the central preservation resource for publications and historical records of the various offices, departments, and schools that make up the University. We also collect and preserve current and historical materials related to the nearby towns of Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard from the "pioneer" era (mid-1840s) to the present. We further seek to include materials focusing on the history of business in Utah County. Also included in the collections are the oral history and folklore projects of UVU students and staff.

Using the Archives

The Sutherland Archives makes collections available for research to the campus community and the public at large. Archives hours are generally from 8:00 AM to 4:00PM or by appointment. Access to archival materials is with assistance of Archives staff only. Items in the Sutherland Archives do not circulate like other Library materials, but photocopies of documents or scanned images of photographs can be obtained by request, usually within 24 hours. Holdings information for materials in the Archives is available through the UVU Library's online catalog. For more information regarding items contained in our collections or any other archives-related questions, please contact us.

Donating to the Archives

We welcome donations of manuscripts, photographs, rare books, or memorabilia that fit within our current collection policy, which focuses on:

• The history of Utah Valley University
• The history of local cities, mainly Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard
• Utah County history
• General Utah history
• The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

However, because our scope is narrow it is necessary for our staff to determine whether the items will become part of our collection. If you are interested in donating, please contact us to discuss the items you wish to donate.

We also accept donations of digital items, or we can digitize items you wish to retain physically, for use in our Digital Collections. If you are interested in donating faculty projects or student theses, please fill out and send us a Digital Repository Donation Form. For all other digital items please contact us.
