New at the Archives

Check out our latest web exhibit, "Hats Off! Beanies of the Big 10." It's a collaborative project with other Big 10 archives.

University Annual Reports from 1870-1967 are now available along with many other Archives materials in the Knowledge Bank!

Established in 1965, The Ohio State University Archives serves as the official memory of the University. Since then, the Archives has collected more than 30,000 linear feet of manuscripts materials and roughly 2 million photos and other images to serve this purpose. From a copy of the Cannon Act that created the original Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College to the electronic correspondence of recent Ohio State Pres. Karen Holbrook (2002-2007), the Archives has a wide variety of materials to help researchers create their own interpretations of University history.
