The University Archives documents the history of the University of Vermont. The University Archives collects records of administrative and academic units, UVM theses and dissertations, papers of faculty and administrators, publications, photographs, and audiovisual material and makes them available to the UVM community and researchers. Most collections are available for research, but access to some collections may be limited by institutional or legal restrictions.

Research Assistance

Special Collections librarians are happy to help answer questions about UVM alumni, faculty, academic programs, buildings, and other topics. Visit our reading room, contact us by email, or call 802-656-2138.

You can search the library catalog to find UVM publications and books and other material about the university. Finding aids are available for some Archives records. 

All University Archives material must be used in Special Collections. Publications, building information files, faculty information files (unofficial), and photographs are housed in Special Collections. However, most archival collections are stored off-site. Please contact us at least 48 hours in advance so that we have sufficient time to retrieve material for you.

Deposit or Donate

Faculty members and university departments with questions about depositing or donating material to the Archives should contact the University Archivist, Chris Burns, 802-656-2631.
