The Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects and administers the archives of Marquette University and its various units, including office administrative files, publications, and the papers of faculty, students, staff, and alumni, and their respective organizations. The University Archives staff seeks to identify, preserve, and make accessible all University records that have long term administrative, legal, financial, or historical value.

The University Archives is happy to work with teaching faculty and lecturers to incorporate primary source materials into the learning process. We can arrange tours, orientations, presentations, and class visits to incorporate archives’ materials in courses or to provide an introduction to primary source materials and the use of archives. Please contact a staff member to discuss arrangements.
