Please complete this form to request confidential destruction of inactive College records that do not need to be retained for legal, financial, or other institutional reasons.
You can request that materials be transferred to the Archives for delayed destruction or picked up by our shredding vendor, Iron Mountain, for immediate destruction.
For additional information about how long specific types of records should be kept, please see the Bowdoin records schedules. Never destroy records if you are not sure if they are permanent! Contact the Archives (scaref@bowdoin.edu, x3288) with any questions.
