Q. Do you have Special Collections and Archives?

Special Collections, which includes the University Archives, are housed on Forsyth Library's upper floor. During the library's closure for renovation in Summer 2024, onsite visits to Special Collections are temporarily suspended. For inquiries, to schedule research consultations, and to request materials to view in Custer Hall 108, contact Brian Gribben, Coordinator of Government Documents & Special Collections at b_gribben@fhsu.edu or call 785-628-5511.
