We are open by appointment to researchers.
Please use the “contact us” link if there is something in our collection that you would like to view.
We are located in the basement of the Haas Library and are generally open 9-4 M-TH, but all hours by appointment.
The WCSU Archives welcomes all members of the WCSU Community (WCSU students, parents of students, faculty, alums, and administration) and the public.
Here’s a video from the days of Covid on how to search our holdings.

There is equipment at the Archives to make duplication scans of photographs, documents, and transparencies of WCSU materials. There are also facilities to make digital duplications of video and audio recordings in our holdings. For patrons who are not members of the WCSU Community, there are some fees associated with duplication. Commercial uses of materials requires written permission and may require an additional fee. Laptops and phones are permitted and for most items, photography is permitted. And… remember to cite us, if you don’t know how, contact us.
