"Digital Archive Project" step for Sustainability from IGU


Istanbul Gelisim University took a significant step in line with the principles of sustainability and switched to digital archiving. This new system aims to minimize environmental impacts and modernize archiving processes by reducing the use of paper.


Istanbul Gelisim University has implemented the "Digital Archive Project" in order to carry its historical and academic heritage into the future. Since the physical archive structures kept by traditional methods are vulnerable to natural disasters such as fire, earthquake, flood, it is almost impossible to recover the lost and damaged document. With the digital archive, it is aimed to eliminate all these risks.

Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), which attaches importance to sustainability studies in all areas, particularly environmental sustainability, adopts the "Sustainable Development Goals" and implements practices for the effective use of natural resources. The new digital archive system makes it easy to store and access a wide range of documents in digital format. Students, academicians and administrative staff can now access archive documents online, from anywhere and at any time.



The digital archive contains all correspondence, student personal files, staff files, etc. since the establishment of the university. The digital archive project uses a modern and advanced interface to provide users with easy and fast access to information. Documents and contents in the archive can be searched by keywords and categories.

IGU avoids paper waste!

Although the use of less paper and the recycling of paper has become one of the issues that institutions attach great importance to today, there are still many areas that can be transformed with paperless offices. One of the parts of the transition to a paperless office is actually to reduce paper and similar office supplies by switching to digital archive. Istanbul Gelisim University aims to protect the environment by preventing unnecessary paper use by switching to digital archiving. With the realization of the project, IGU did not receive documents by hand in the new registration period, however received all documents in the digital environment and created the student personal files in the digital environment.



"Digital Archive Project" works started on August 19, 2024 and 131656 files and 339049 documents were digitized in a short time. You can access Istanbul Gelisim University archive at https://dijitalarsiv.gelisim.edu.tr/login.aspx. Authorized documents can be viewed by logging in with a username and password.
