What are finding aids?

Finding aids are detailed inventories of collections that provide information about the creation, historical context, and contents of primary source materials. They are used to determine manuscript and archival collections useful for your research.

Need help?

This new system is a big change from the old, so if you need help finding materials, stop by Special Collections and University Archives in Lupton Library room 205 or Ask an Archivist. If you’ve got a group of five or more, book one of our on-demand workshop, Researching with Primary Sources, to learn more about our resources online and in the stacks.
