UCSF Archives actively crawls and collects websites of internal departments and offices, as well as outside organizations, groups, and individuals whose records contribute to educational and research programs of the University. See our official web archiving policy for more details.
Snapshots in time
These websites document the public face of UCSF and the way the university communicates its mission and its work. Archiving them also enables comparisons over time, for example, being able to view ucsf.edu from 2007 versus 2025. Review the variety of websites already being archived. If your website is not one of them, you can request capture.
Request a website capture
We invite you to nominate online content for UCSF’s web archives collections.
Multiple websites
Things can get complicated when there are several websites to capture. Please contact the UCSF Digital Archivist to discuss the best plan for your particular content.
Just one
If you have just one site that needs to be captured, we will gather some details from you and get the process started. Please fill out the form, and we will be in touch soon.
What to expect
Submissions will be carefully reviewed, and we may follow up with questions. Please understand that not all nominated websites can be captured, and that some features like searches or dynamic scripts may not be fully preserved. Requestors may be asked to review for completeness and quality. Once archived, the website will be accessible on the UCSF Archive-IT site.
