What am I searching?

Special Collections and University Archives (SPARC) has mounted 21 digital collections, featuring more than 60,000 items in digital form. These online resources represent just a fraction of the 50 million documents preserved in SPARC. You can use the search box above to search across our digital collections or use the advanced search function (top of every page) to search within select collections.

Accessing other Archival collections

Archivists prepare inventories, or finding aids, to describe archival records. Our finding aids are arranged by subject and within an A-Z Index. Finding aids often provide older-level descriptions of primary sources, but rarely provide access to electronic facsimiles.

Patrons are invited to share information that adds to our knowledge and understanding of the events and individuals depicted in the items displayed in our eArchives portal. This feature is turned on in select digital collections. Patrons who consider commenting should first read our CONTENTdm Commenting Policy.
