The Blackboard course retention policy specifies that courses will be archived two (2) years after the published course end date. The standard specifies what courses qualify for archive and deletion, as well as when the deletion activity occurs so that we can keep Blackboard Learn current and manage course data according to industry best practices, such as practices of IUC (Inter-University Council of Ohio) peer institutions. This page includes standards, definitions, exceptions, and the schedule for course deletion.
Blackboard courses will be available to instructors within Blackboard for two (2) years after the course's end date, plus the semester in which the course is last taught. Two (2) years after the course's end date, the course is automatically archived and is no longer visible in Blackboard but can be restored upon request by contacting the IT Service Desk.
The standard applies to all for-credit courses archived for five (5) years or more [seven (7) years after the course end date]. The impacted courses will have Blackboard Course IDs that look like this example, MATH_1000_001_LAB_SPRG_2010-11.
Instructors are also encouraged to create and keep a local export (copy) of their own courses. Exports of courses will include content created by the instructor but automatically exclude any student work or submissions. Instructions to export and archive courses are available here.
The Tuzin Archive for Melanesian Anthropology at the University of California, San Diego, is comprised primarily of the personal papers of individual anthropologists, documenting research on the cultures of the southwest Pacific Islands. Included are manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings, film and video, correspondence, and other supporting documentation.
Founded in the early 1980s by the UC San Diego Department of Anthropology professors, Donald F. Tuzin (1945-2007) and Fitz John Porter Poole (1941-2002), in partnership with the UC San Diego Library, early co-funding for the Archive was provided under the Title II-C program of the U.S. Department of Education, with additional funding from the Wenner-Grenn Foundation.
The Tuzin Archive, which includes over 300 linear feet of materials, is housed in the UC San Diego Library's Special Collections & Archives and located in the Geisel Library building on the campus. Onsite use of the materials is open, subject to their policies. A few collections have restricted access on certain items, at the request of the donor--these restrictions, if any, are noted in the relevant finding aid for each collection. Some collections are in off-site storage and may take up to one week to retrieve. Please contact Special Collections & Archives to arrange in advance.
