Archives & Special Collections

Everett Library seeks to build its collections through donations from students and others that document the activities that comprised their unique campus experience. Materials we collect include:

• Diaries
• Correspondence (letters to and from home)
• Photograph albums
• Scrapbooks
• Recordings (film & audio)
• Student or other campus organization records (minutes, posters, membership lists, etc.)

In general, we do not need additional copies of yearbooks or student newspapers or other widely distributed campus publications. We occasionally collect artifacts, making evaluations on a case-by-case basis.

If you have material you are interested in donating, please contact the library.
