The answers to your questions are readily available on the front page of our website by clicking on finding aids. While I would encourage you to explore an archive near you, you can in fact explore some of the materials that an archive holds by simply exploring their website. With the popularization of digitization, many materials that were once only available in an archive are now available online to all who care to look. For example, on our homepage you can select “Digital Collections” and view our University Photograph Collection (which may be of interest to you as an alumnus) and other collections representing some of our diverse materials from the Special Collections.

I merely graduated from UTC with a B.A. and from Emory University with an M.Div.
