Abstract

At the University of Central Florida, the Special Collections and University Archives work hand in hand with the Library Development office to create lasting relationships with donors. University Archives staff began attending alumni events in 2005 to create publicity for the collection and encourage donations of materials about the university. Though this publicity, the archives connected with alumni who have become advocates and participants in building a collection. Faculty, staff, and alumni volunteers have come in to the archives to identify photographs and have donated their materials to build a collection documenting the university. Exhibits highlighting the history of the university served to interest the alumni community, and exhibit events have brought new faces into the library. By creating these activities within the special collections, donors become active in the library community, and bring potential for financial gifts.
