Archives

Supporting teaching, research, and university administration by acquiring, protecting and enabling access to university and private records of historic value.

SFU Archives holds unique, unpublished materials in a variety of media, including photographs, audiovisual material, and born-digital records. These records document the dynamic (and often turbulent) history of the university and its community, and support diverse teaching and research interests at SFU. Guided by our Acquisition Mandate, we acquire records through transfer from university departments, and donations from the SFU community and private individuals and organizations. 

We welcome students, faculty, and administrators; scholars and students from other universities; and members of the general public and assist them with their research and learning needs.
