The Willamette University Office of Communications records contain the University's printed promotional material, as well as administrative materials from the Office of Communications.
Mark O. Hatfield Library
Materials are in English.
The Office of University Communications offers planning assistance and tools for university faculty and staff promoting Willamette's programs and events. In particular, Communications staff strive to develop and distribute key communications for external audiences.
The Willamette University Office of Communications records contain printed promotional and expository materials created by the Office of Communications. The collection is largely composed of mailings, brochures, and pamphlets addressing university admissions, development, and events. Some published reports and periodicals are also included.
The Office of Communications records are arranged into three series: I. Publicity materials; II. News releases; and III. Administrative materials. Series I, Publicity materials, is further divided into alphabetical subseries based upon the office the material was created on behalf of.
This collection is open to researchers, with the exception of files designated as University Records, which are closed for 25 years from date of creation per University policy. These are located primarily in the Administrative materials series.
Library acts as "fair use" reproduction agent.
For further information, see the section on copyright in the Regulations and Procedures of the Willamette University Archives and Special Collections.
Copyright Information: Before material from collections at Willamette University Archives and Special Collections may be quoted in print, or otherwise reproduced, in whole or in part, in any publication, permission must be obtained from (1) the owner of the physical property, and (2) the holder of the copyright. It is the particular responsibility of the researcher to obtain both sets of permission. Persons wishing to quote from materials in any collections held by University Archives and Special Collections should consult the University Archivist. Reproduction of any item must contain a complete citation to the original.
[Identification of item], Willamette University Office of Communications records, Archives and Special Collections, Mark O. Hatfield Library, Willamette University.
Materials from the Office of Communications are deposited on a semi-regular basis. This finding aid is updated regularly to reflect these accruals. It underwent significant revision due to a large transfer in early 2018. In 2021, the collection underwent another significant revision. This included the addition of series II-III and additional materials into series I.
Any newsletters and journals, though produced and printed by Communications, are described and physically housed as part of the [University Publications collection]. These include: Commencement materials,
Inside Willamette, Directions, Troubador, Willamette Lawyer, and others.
Newspaper clippings were removed and placed in the general reference collection. Photographs were removed to the Campus Photographs collection ([WUA9999]). Audiovisual materials were removed to the Campus AV collection.
Building dedication programs, initially processed into this collection, were moved to the Facilities records (WUA130) in March 2022.
