Visit SCU Archives and Special Collections!

Special Collection Libraries hold unusually rare, unique or valuable materials, including rare books, specialized publications and archival materials. Usually they have non-circulating materials and closed stacks, meaning that patrons cannot check out materials or access the shelves. Archives may refer to collections of records, the institution that collects records, and/or the physical space where the records are stored. 

Archival Collections are the records and associated materials that document the history of an individual, a group of people, a place, or an institution. The records commonly include different types of primary source documents such as letters, reports, legers, files, photographs, manuscripts, and diaries. They may also include artifacts, such as keepsakes, awards or other items kept for their personal or institutional meaning.
