Special Collections and University Archives will be open by appointment only for at least the summer quarter (June 17th - September 23, 2024), due to upcoming building construction projects. To make an appointment to view materials during this time, please submit a request through our appointment calendar. We will provide updates on any additional disruption due to the projects as more information is available. Reproduction requests are still available during this time.

Welcome!
