Marquette University Special Collections and University Archives

The mission of the Department of Special Collections and University Archives of Marquette University is to collect, arrange, describe, preserve, and service records of enduring historical value for research, instructional, and administrative use. The archival and manuscript collecting program of the department is an extension of the spiritual, philosophical, and scholarly strengths of the university as a Christian, Catholic, and Jesuit institution. The department collects and administers the archives of Marquette University and its various units, including office administrative files, publications, and the papers of faculty, students, staff, and alumni, and their respective organizations.

The collections are held in the John P. Raynor, S.J. Library, completed in 2003, named for one of Marquette's former presidents[1] and serves as one of the main study areas on campus.
