The Rod Library Special Collections & University Archives (SC&UA) collects, preserves, and provides access to rare, valuable, and delicate collections of books, manuscripts, and institutional records.

SC&UA uses ArchivesSpace to provide access to finding aids, which are guides to archival collections and can be used to determine which collections are of use to you!

Use this page to search and browse the finding aids for University Archives materials. University Archives is organized in record groups and series which are roughly in alignment with the university's organizational structure. Record groups are the major administrative divisions of the overall collection. Record series within these record groups are the discrete, distinct collections. You may also use the top navigation bar to search in specific record groups, see an alphabetical listing of all collections, or search by name.
