UT Southwestern Archives are in the spotlight this month with campus events

October is American Archives Month

October brings several opportunities for UT Southwestern staff, faculty, researchers, and students to learn more about the wide variety of archival and special collections resources and services provided by the Library. Normally available by appointment only, special open-house events* in October will showcase materials in the Archives Annex, as well as items in the Rare Book Room collection.

The Archives Annex is located on the main floor of the South Campus (main) Library (E2.222), and the Rare Book Room collection is located on the third floor (E3.314D).

Not able to come to the Library? Stop by during one of our October traveling archive events at South Campus, North Campus, or the Bass Center! Selected photographs, scrapbooks, documents, and other artifacts from the Library’s archival and special collections will be on display. Staff will also be on hand to answer questions about online resources, such as the UT Southwestern Archives Collection, the Texas Physicians Historical Biographical Database, founding documents, and more.
