You will need some basic supplies to prepare records for shipment to the University Records Center. We recommend you obtain supplies as needed rather than maintain a large quantity in your office.  

Request Boxes 

All records sent to the Records Center must be in approved Records Center boxes. Records Center boxes are purchased from the Records Center by completing a Form UM40: Customer Registration and Box Order (PDF)

If you work on the UMSL campus, please contact your campus mail room to purchase Records Center boxes directly.  

Request Box Labels 

Request a supply of Form UM 121: Records Center Box Label from the Records Center via email at centeru@umsystem.edu or by calling 573-882-7652. Once you have received a supply of box labels, complete the label and attach one to the side of each box below the handle. The labels must coincide with the information entered on Form UM 34: Transmittal of Records (PDF).  

Confidential Disposal Service 

For information on disposal of records and associated services, please refer to Storing Records for additional details.
