- Mark the boxes on the upper left corner of the front of the box with an abbreviation for the department and the box number.
- Fill out the Transmittal Form.
- Open the TF document in MS Word. Save the document onto a desktop computer.
- Complete the first two sections (with the exception of the Accession # which will be assigned later).
- Fill-in brief descriptions of each box, including the box #, description, and dates of the records.
- Complete the Contents List (page 2 of the Transmittal Form) with detailed descriptions of the box contents.
- Email the completed Transmittal Form / Contents List as an attachment to: archives@lanecc.edu
- Put in a Work Order to have FMP pick up the filled boxes and have them taken to the Archives' Receiving & Processing Room Building 4, Room 107.
- The Archives will assign an Accession # and complete the Transmittal Form.
- Two copies of the Transmittal Form will be sent to the department for a signature. Return one signed copy to the Archives. The other copy is kept by the department to refer to when requesting records from the Archives in the future.
