Trent University Archives maintains non-current administrative records of Trent University when each unit transfers its non-current historical records to the Archives. These records are used to re-create the history of Trent and life at the University. These records are arranged in Record Groups and are listed in alphabetical order by name of department, program or administrative unit (e.g. the President, Lady Eaton College, Department of Communications, Academic Skills, Department of Anthropology, etc).

The Archives also keeps the minutes of the Board of Governors, Senate, Academic Development Committee, Faculty Board and various other committees involved in university governance.

Trent University institutional records are controlled and access to them is only with permission of the University Archivist. Generally, these restricted records are made available to members of the Board of Governors, the President, the Chair or Head of the creating administrative unit and any delegated and authorized Trent University employee requiring access to fulfill his/her responsibilities. Notification of authorization for these delegated persons to access the institutional records must be forwarded to the University Archivist. Once such authorization has been received, access to the records identified in the authorization will be given.

Access to the Trent University's non-current historical records by all other researchers is through the University's Access and Privacy Office. A written application is required citing records required, purpose of research, and giving a commitment to confidentiality. Once the application is approved and given to the University Archivist, individuals will have access to the records outlined in the approval.
