Archives Office

The Edith Cowan University (ECU) Archives was established in 1983 and makes available the historically valuable records and papers of the University and its predecessors, dating back to 1902. The ECU Archives is responsible for the administration, preservation, appraisal and destruction of University non-current official records.

Located on the Joondalup campus, the holdings of the ECU Archives repositories include long and short term temporary records, as well as permanent records of faculties, schools, institutes and other University bodies. Donations to the Archives are welcome. Records of student bodies including the Guild, clubs and societies, personal papers and memorabilia from the alumni and former students, are sought out, and maintained under appropriate arrangements.

The University Archives exists to support research, teaching, scholarship and the objectives of the University. Enquiries about the deposit of items, request to consult records or enquiries about the history of the University, the former Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE), and the former Teacher Colleges should be directed to the Senior Records Managment Officer, Joondalup campus, telephone (08) 6304 2261. Visits to the Archives by staff, students and the general public are welcome and information is available on request.
