Finding Aids
The University Archives creates guides called "finding aids" after a collection has been cataloged. A finding aid basically tells you what you can expect to find within a given collection. Finding aids usually include a description of the materials, date ranges, and references to people or subjects that are the primary focus of the collection. Some finding aids contain more detailed information than others and not all collections have finding aids. If you can't find what you are looking for, please contact a staff member in the University Archives for assistance.

Finding aids are also available for the other Special Collections materials that may be related to collections in the University Archives.
