University Archives
Welcome!
University Archives & Historical Collections of Michigan State University is a place of discovery. More than 160 years of MSU history can be explored, including original letters and diaries, photographs, and oral histories. Our collections span the entirety of MSU’s history and also contain historical materials not related to MSU. Some of our collection highlights include materials that document the physical campus and grounds, early student life, the lumber industry, and the Civil War.
In an effort to protect our patrons and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the MSU Libraries has decided to limit public access points. The University Archives Reading Room at Conrad Hall will remain closed. Public access will be served from the Special Collections (SPC) Reading Room located at the MSU Main Library building.
Documenting Covid-19
Michigan State University Libraries is documenting the experiences of MSU students, staff, faculty, and other members of the campus community during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, and contributing them to the Michigan State University Archives & Historical Collections (UAHC). We invite you to share your stories, photos, videos, and other documentation about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
UAHC Update - Appointments Available
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the University Archives Reading Room is closed. Patrons can make appointments to use University Archives materials at the MSU Main Library.
We will continue to provide email and telephone reference support, though responses may be delayed. Online resources are available at onthebanks.msu.edu and on Flickr.
