During the COVID-19 Pandemic, our resources are restricted.

You can always contact the library staff for assistance with our resources. 

Archives description

Access and Hours 

Access to the Archives requires a prior conversation and a scheduled meeting with a librarian.


NOTE: No material has been added to the collection since the migration to electronic records in 2009.

At this time, there are no long-term campus-level Records Management controls in place. Conversations have been initiated at the Deans Council to address the centralization of electronic records over time, but no policies, practices, or resources have been designated for such coordinated and proactive Records Management efforts. Contact individual units for historical material after 2009.
