Looking for materials in an archives/special collection can be a very rewarding experience but it is different from searching for other materials in FLITE.

The first step for searching for materials on your topic of interest is to use the library online catalog. The online catalog has brief descriptions of collections and contains records for many published materials.

Another source for finding information is to look through finding aids. You can do a quick search of the finding aids search box on this page or browse them by title.

A third way to find information is to browse our vertical files. These may also be searched using the search button on this screen.

In some cases, resources on particular topics such as Ferris thesis, or campus buildings, has been created. These resources are located on the research guides page.

Photographs, unless they are part of a larger collection, are not currently searchable online. If you have a specific photo request, please contact archives staff.

The University Archives has many more resources which may not be cataloged or make a specific reference to your topic. It is always best to consult archival staff who may be able to suggest a different approach to finding the information you need.
