About us
Our purpose is to acquire, arrange, describe, preserve, and make available materials of enduring historic value to support the research needs of Stanford students and faculty as well as the larger community of scholars. Our department comprises three distinct collecting divisions: Manuscripts, Rare Books, and University Archives; a public services division; and an exhibitions and publications program.
Students and scholars from outside of Stanford should contact the staff with inquiries before they make their plans. Let us know what you are interested in.
