Archives are For Everyone! Exploring UConn Archives and Special Collections

Archives are the building blocks of history! They are the stories from people that help us understand what happened – and why. When you’re on campus, you’re only steps away from an entire library unit dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing these rare and unique historical materials with you!

Explore the collections available in Archives and Special Collections through interactive activities—make buttons from historical materials, create a zine inspired by what you find, play vintage UConn board games from the collections, or solve an escape-room style mystery using historical clues. Archivists will also share research tips and answer questions.
