Briggs Library Special Collections
University Collections
This collection contains official and unofficial material from all aspects of the university. It includes publications and records from many departments on campus, historical material documenting the earliest days of SDSU, historical records of many campus organizations, and a complete run of the SDSU Jack Rabbit. Ephemera and materials related to the university are welcomed.
SDSU Archives strives to collect and maintain records having permanent historical value to SDSU and wider community, including administrative records, departmental and student group records, faculty papers, publications, Agricultural Experiment and Cooperative Extension materials, and materials from individuals and organizations associated with the university. Permanent value of university records may be established 1) by the State Records Destruction Board through formal records retention scheduling procedures, or 2) through the appraisal process.
The archives strives to keep preservation copies of all material published by any department or area of the university. These materials include, but are not limited to, catalogs, brochures, flyers, informational bulletins, promotional materials, programs, and other material printed by organizations related to or a part of the university.
A preservation copy of all university theses and dissertations is placed in the closed book stacks of the archives. These items are processed according to regular library policy.
