Emory University Archives
The Emory University Archives is charged by the university with collecting, preserving and providing access to records and related materials documenting the history and function of Emory University, its predecessor schools, and related organizations.
The Archives contain the following types of materials:
University records
The Archives collects University records of permanent historical value regardless of format. These include, but are not limited to, minutes, correspondence, reports, and publications produced by administrative, academic, and research units in the course of University business.
Dissertations, theses and honors papers
Through 2009 the Archives received one copy of each doctoral dissertation or master's thesis produced by an Emory graduate student. Through 2010 the Archives received one copy of each honors thesis produced by an Emory undergraduate. Dissertations and theses produced after 2009/2010 were submitted electronically to Emory's Electronic Theses and Dissertations repository.
If the General Libraries circulating copy of a print thesis or dissertation is not available, retrieval of the Archives copy may be requested through EUCLID.
Records of affiliated organizations
The Archives collects the records of alumni, faculty, staff, and student organizations, as well as those which have a close relationship to the university.
