University Archives

The University Archives houses a special non-circulating, non-browsing collection of materials, created by Eastern Michigan University administrators, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, which have long-term historical value. The collection-official and non-official-consists of catalogs, minutes, reports, programs, correspondence, photographs, blueprints, special publications, and biographies.
