Welcome

The University Archives & Historical Collections maintains the permanent records of the University and provides management for the University's inactive records.  Areas of collection strength include the physical campus and grounds, early student life, and campus publications.  Materials include written documents, photographs, oral histories, and films. 

The archives also contains historical materials not related to MSU including large photograph collections of the surrounding communities of Lansing and East Lansing and historical records and papers relating to agriculture, lumbering, environmentalism in Michigan, and the Civil War.
