The Special Collections and University Archives Department of Stanford University Libraries is committed to acquiring, preserving, and providing access to materials of enduring historic value that support the research needs of the Stanford community and beyond. The holdings of our department are divided into three distinct and unique divisions: Manuscripts, Rare Books, and University Archives.

The collections of the University Archives are rich sources of information regarding academics, administrative concerns, and student life, as well as the university's involvement in the development of Santa Clara Valley and the history of California and the West.

A tour of Special Collections will include the reading room, processing rooms, and the current exhibit. You will meet your tour guide at the front doors of the Field Reading Room, on the second floor of the Bing Wing room 200.
