The Swedish National Archives urge everybody to preserve documents containing information about the coronavirus/Covid-19

When the pandemic is over, it is important that information is preserved about how Lund University faced and managed the crisis.

What decisions were made? What measures were taken? How was the organisation and its activities affected? Preserved information constitutes a basis for research and learning for the future.

There are two types of documentation related to the coronavirus/Covid-19:

  • Changes and adaptations in documentation that would have existed nonetheless in regular activities. This is registered/preserved in the same way as usual, but should be labelled clearly in headings, description of matters etc. to show that it relates to coronavirus/Covid-19. Write “coronavirus (Covid-19)” when you refer to the coronavirus in the register.
  • Completely new documentation that would not have been produced without the pandemic.

It is appropriate to preserve documentation more than usual in order to provide an overall picture:

  • Web information and other information material should be preserved at more frequent intervals, as the information is frequently changed
  • Minutes/meeting notes from specific crisis management group/crisis management meetings are to be registered
  • Register/preserve documents that reflect specific measures linked to transition to digital teaching and assessment,
    • e.g. timetable changes, syllabi
    • effect on student mobility,
    • and specific changes/events linked to operational assignments.

If there is uncertainty about how a matter/document is to be registered/preserved, contact the central registry, registrator [at] lu [dot] se (registrator[at]lu[dot]se), telephone +46 46 222 71 40, or the archives office, universitetsarkivet [at] legal [dot] lu [dot] se (universitetsarkivet[at]legal[dot]lu[dot]se), telephone +46 46 222 16 70.
