A finding aid provides an overview of a collection and in some cases, detailed listings of the files in a collection. Looking for University records and historical documents begins with looking at the finding aids to University Archives and Richardson Collection.
Please note that finding aids are not available for all collections. If you don't find the information you are looking for, please contact Archives and Special Collections.
Please review all of Archives and Special Collection's policies before you visit.
