Searching Our Collections
We are currently working on making our collections searchable and discoverable online, however, we have not completed it yet! If you would like to learn more about what historical University materials we have available for research, please make an appointment with our archivist to take a look at our finding aids!
Our rare books and archival materials do not circulate, nor are they available through interlibrary loan. Materials in our collections may only be viewed in the Rare Book Room.

Yearbooks
Most of our yearbooks have been digitized and are available by clicking the link below.
The yearbook has gone through a few name changes which included Nucleolus, Cardiograph, The Stillonian, and, finally, Pacemaker. It is important to note that there have been a few stretches in which the university did not publish a yearbook due to times of economic and social hardship.
