University Archives

The University Archives houses the archival records of the University starting around 1900. The Archives is especially strong in the records of the Office of the President. Other materials include records from the Student Government Association, the Registrar’s Office, and the Department of Speech. We have a large collection of photographs starting in the 1900s and football game films from 1968 to 2000.
