It is now possible to search for material within our manuscript collections by using our customized ArchivesSpace online database. Manuscript material held by Raymond H. Fogler Library’s Special Collections Department covers a wide range of subjects reflecting historical events, business, education, arts, and sciences.
This database was created for researchers to be able to search and browse the titles of folders within collections and download finding aids for the Special Collection’s manuscripts, university records, and oral history interviews.
