Archives
Supporting teaching, research, and university administration by acquiring, protecting and enabling access to university and private records of historic value.
¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Archives holds unique, unpublished materials in a variety of media, including photographs, audiovisual material, and born-digital records. These records document the dynamic (and often turbulent) history of the university and its community, and support diverse teaching and research interests at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV. Guided by our Acquisition Mandate, we acquire records through transfer from university departments, and donations from the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV community and private individuals and organizations.
We welcome students, faculty, and administrators; scholars and students from other universities; and members of the general public and assist them with their research and learning needs.
