The Archives & Special Collection Department of SUNY Buffalo State was established in 1975 and houses a growing vibrant collection of primary and secondary source materials available to faculty, students, and the public. Our collections include various college publications, scrapbooks, speeches, memorabilia, photographs, college annual reports, budgets, and statistics starting in 1860 and stretching to the present. In addition, we hold scores of unique collections of local importance, regional interest, and national significance.
Access to the department is available by appointment only. Due to the nature of the collection, all books, media, and special collections material do not circulate and are not available through Interlibrary Loan. Please contact the department by telephone or email for scheduling. Additional information can be found on our "Planning a Visit" page.
