Find archival material on a specific topic

 

You can find archival material on a specific topic in various ways.  

 

One option is browsing Raynor Library's e-Archives, a repository of digitized items. These are organized by collection for easy browsing or searching.  Note that this does not represent all of the content in the archives, and the majority of archival material is located in physical collections. 

 

You can browse Finding Aids for the Archival Collections. Finding aids are documents that inventory the contents of a collection of archival materials. They generally do not represent documents that have been digitized, but serve as roadmaps that help us locate relevant documents in physical collections. Raynor’s finding aids are searchable or browsable by subject and an A-Z directory. You can also search all finding aids by using keywords in the Search function here: https://www.marquette.edu/library/archives/#search-acir  

 

Finally, you can find archival materials in Marquette’s Institutional Repository, here: https://epublications.marquette.edu/acir/  While the Institutional Repository usually represents Marquette research, this section is reserved for larger digitized archival collections. 

 

If you are having trouble locating a collection, please don’t hesitate to “Ask an Archivist” through the online form here: https://www.marquette.edu/library/archives/askarch.php  

 

Once you have identified a prospective collection, you can review its finding aid information to determine if the archival documents are relevant to your research needs. Finding aids include descriptive information about the items within the collection, such as title, date, creator, and extent.  

 

Some finding aids provide item-level descriptions, whereas others only offer series-level descriptions. For example, you can view item-level descriptions from the March on Milwaukee: More than One Struggle, Oral History Project Collection.  

 

To view physical collections, you must contact the archives and schedule an appointment to use the reading room. Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance to ensure the items are ready for viewing. The reading room is open from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Visitors from the general public may use the reading room and view archival materials, but must abide by Raynor Library visitor policies.  

 

If you need more help finding archival material, consider contacting the archives directly or booking a research consultation with your liaison librarian.
