An essential part of the Archives' function is collecting material from University Units: minutes, workshops, lectures, posters, brochures, photographs, etc. of various events. To accrue this material, a special program, University Archives Program (UAP), was launched in January 2002 and was mandated by the President of the University. In order to comply with the University Archives Program, you are kindly requested to provide the Archives Department with all the records, documents and items of archival nature which are related to our University. With your full support the Department will be enriched and a wider range of information services will be accessible to both AUB and non-AUB Community. We look forward to strengthening our working relationship and appreciate your cooperation.
