Information for Colleges / Departments / Units

Content in the Texas A&M Repository is typically arranged by college and department, called a community, and faculty members collections.
To get started, decide on:

  • Content you would like to distribute widely and preserve over the long-term
  • A contact person to work with the Texas A&M Repository coordinator to set up and run the Community
  • The Community/Collection structure that is best for the college, department, or unit content
  • Metadata (descriptive cataloging information) See Describing a Resource (Metadata).
  • Individuals who will be allowed to submit materials

Information for Individuals

Please contact us and we will be happy to establish a collection for you in your department’s community, or can explore establishing a community if one does not yet exist.
