Telling your story for future generations to enjoy is about reflecting on your group's uniqueness, celebrating both the little moments and the milestones, and the artifacts that help you tell that story. Have initial conversations with your peers and reflect on the following: 

• What makes our organization unique?
• What legacy is our organization leaving for future Furman students?
• How are we evolving over time as an organization? 
• What are we trying to accomplish this year? 
• What records provide answers to these questions? 

What you choose to and to not archive is entirely up to you. And although there isn't a true list as to what you can't choose, here are some examples of items that we can preserve for your organization. 

Special Collections and Archives is interested in preserving material that relates to the following topics: 

• The history and development of Furman University campus organizations 
• The missions and policies of campus organizations 
• Significant programming, events, and activities created by campus organizations 
• Positions and actions of student governments and councils 
• Organized student activism 
• Student engagement in service activities
