One of the most significant services provided by the University Archive, through the Arxiu Intermedi, is the documentary appraisal of the records generated by the University.

In a context of exponential growth in the volume of documentation—both in physical format and, since the enactment of Law 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, in electronic format—it is neither necessary nor advisable to preserve all documents. Only those that are of interest for information and research, those required by law to be kept, or those whose relevance affects the University itself or third parties should be retained.

Article 84.1 of Law 4/1998 on the Cultural Heritage of Valencia states that "the regulations shall determine the timeframe and other rules concerning the circulation, preservation, and classification of documents from the various public administrations of the Valencian Community, as well as the destruction of those not subject to permanent preservation."

In accordance with the above, Article 85 of the same law establishes the creation of the Junta Calificadora de Documentos Administrativos (Administrative Document Appraisal Board), whose function is to assess the proposed documentary appraisal tables and issue the corresponding mandatory and binding ruling. To develop these tables, documentary appraisal committees may be established as needed.

Within this framework, and by virtue of the Resolution of February 1, 2022, issued by the Conseller of Education, Culture, and Sports, the Comisión de Valoración Documental para las Universidades Públicas de la Comunidad Valenciana (Documentary Appraisal Commission for Public Universities of the Valencian Community) was created. Its mission is to evaluate the university documentation generated by public universities in the Valencian Community.
