University Archives

Are you a student organization wanting to spice up an event? Are you a professor looking for a fun, alternative route from your basic instruction? Reach out to Claire to discuss bringing archives into your life! Whether it be for a social event, to increase interest in research, or to prepare for a long-term project, consulting with the RU Archives is always a good time. 

Please allow up to 3 weeks for classroom instruction requests to be fully processed. 

Digital Archives in the World
Even though the RU Archives hold many cool artifacts, some research requires outside resources. Here are nine examples of excellent digital collections. Many of the items in these collections are in the public domain or have been made accessible through Creative Commons. If you need assistance distinguishing between the two, or learning more about how to give credit where credit is due, reach out to Claire or any RU librarian. 

There are thousands of digital collections in existence. If you're searching for a specific collection (and a quick Google search is not fruitful), reach out to Claire to learn more about digital artifacts accessible to you.
