Schools and Colleges Collections
The Syracuse University Archives has a program to actively document the history of the University's schools and colleges.
Please note that inclusion in the attached list does not necessarily mean that the papers have been processed. As of this time only one collection has, but others are processed to the container or folder level.
Researchers should note that these collections are housed at an off-site facility and require a minimum of two business days to have them brought to campus. Anyone interested in records of schools and colleges held by the Syracuse University Archives should contact the Archives.
Please note that schools and college records less than 30 years old are restricted. Therefore researchers will need to obtain permission in writing of the Dean or Director of the specific school in order to access this material.
