The mission of Motorola Heritage Services and Archives is to support Motorola's global brand and reputation by communicating and preserving company heritage across time, functional, business and regional boundaries.

Motorola Heritage Services and Archives serves as the corporate memory of Motorola, Inc. We identify, collect, preserve and make available selected records and artifacts that have enduring value in documenting the history and evolution of Motorola. We document Motorola's iconic products, initiatives, marketing, places, people and events. We publish Motorola history for use in a variety of print, multimedia and online formats.

We collect records in all formats: textual, audiovisual, photographic, electronic and three-dimensional. Artifacts include examples of key products manufactured and sold by Motorola and its subsidiaries and distributors; a select sample of tools and equipment used in the design, manufacture and testing of products; product packaging; and representative memorabilia that document Motorola's corporate culture and workplace.

We collect only those items that are considered to have long-term historical value to Motorola, Inc., and which are intended for permanent retention, hands-on use, or loan. All items accepted into the collections are or become the property of Motorola, Inc.

Our staff provides reference and research support to Motorolans around the world. Services generally are not available to the public. Exceptions may be made in special circumstances, subject to approval by Motorola Corporate Communications and Public Affairs.
