The University Historical Archives Advisory Committee shall advise the University Librarian, the Library faculty member with primary responsibility for the SFSU Historical Archives, and the University administrator with primary responsibility for records management regarding the collection and preservation of, and access to, materials related to the history of the University. The committee shall develop a comprehensive archival policy for all University materials that are likely to be of permanent value in understanding the history of the institution.

The University Historical Archives Advisory Committee shall meet at least once each semester. The first meeting of each year shall be called by the Library faculty member with primary responsibility for the SFSU Historical Archives.

The committee shall elect its own chair from among the faculty members of the committee at the first meeting of each academic year.
