The University Archives was established in 1985 in conjunction with planning for the University Centennial celebration in 1989. The purpose of the archives is to collect, organize, preserve, and make available materials of permanent value to the University which have historical, legal, fiscal, or administrative significance.

What We Do

The University Archives serves as an information resource for all persons interested in the history and development of the University of New Mexico. Among the source materials available to researchers are presidential correspondence, faculty minutes and committee reports, records of the Board of Regents, annual reports, materials from homecomings and commencements, architectural planning documents, and campus yearbooks and newspapers.

Finding aids to the University Archives collection are available via the Rocky Mountain Online Archive. Select digitized materials from the University Archives collection are also available in the University Library's Digital Collections.
