Busy Summer!



Special Collections and University Archives have had a busy summer moving shelves, boxes, and books into a new space once occupied by Curriculum and Media Collections. For years Special Collections and University Archives have needed more space for the ever expanding documents of the University and the growth of collections, both manuscript and book. This move separates the University Archives (which are a collection unto themselves) from Special Collections allowing for continued growth in each area.

Also this summer, Mike Broadbent a dedicated library volunteer, has completed the typing of names from the Max Bonzo Photograph Collection into a searchable database. This will allow much easier access to patrons who are searching for their family photographs. We appreciate all Mike’s hard work on this endeavor.

Special Collections and University Archives are looking forward to the Library’s Gala this fall where we will celebrate 50 years of service to SUU, the community, and to our many friends and researchers that we have had come through our doors.
