Kwantlen Polytechnic University Archives collects and preserves archival materials relating to the history and activities of the University.
The Archives arranges and describes these materials according to archival principles and makes them accessible to researchers except when access restriction apply (e.g. B.C. Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). It provides appropriate conditions for the storage, protection and preservation of records.
