Using Online Resources
ArchivesSpace
is our online tool that allows you to search what is in the Archives & Special Collections. ArchivesSpace contains our finding aids, or descriptions of our individual collections, to help you understand what kind of materials and information you'll find inside a particular collection. You will not find digital scans or images of the materials in ArchivesSpace, but rather a summary of what materials you can see if you visit in person (for digitized materials you can view on the web, see Digitized Materials below). Here is a brief video tutorial on using ArchivesSpace:
