Records management and collecting policies
The John Richard Allison Library holds the collections of Regent College, and is one of the major theological libraries in Canada. The archive of the library is the official repository that acquires, processes, preserves, and makes accessible for use the institutional records of Regent College. In addition, the archive acquires and encourages donations from its Board of Governors, presidents, faculty/staff members, students, alumnae, and other private/personal papers and manuscripts of individuals that pertain to the research interests of the institution. An example is the professional records of Dr. Stanley Grenz, which were generously donated to the archive in 2010.
