Archives Collections

The University Archives collects the records of academic departments at UB, university and student publications, and pursues the private papers of administrators, faculty members, and other individuals closely associated with the University. Rich historical collections complement the current or past research interests of faculty or document regional organizations and events.

Access to collections is open to researchers with these exceptions:

  • Collections stored off-site or at the Libraries Annex require 3 business days’ notice to ensure retrieval. Contact University Archives at 716-645-2916 or lib-archives@buffalo.edu to schedule an appointment.
  • Unprocessed collections may be opened for research with permission and prior review by the University Archivist.
  • Records that contain sensitive personal information are restricted in order to protect individual privacy. Certain administrative records are restricted in accordance with University policy. Collections with restricted information are noted as such.
