University Archives and Manuscript Collections

The University Archives was originally established in 1964. It holds over 4,300 cubic feet of office records as well as university and student publications from Tufts University. The Archives is also the repository for manuscript collections by Tufts faculty, alumni, affiliated individuals (such as Edward R. Murrow) and organizations (e.g., the World Peace Foundation). In addition to documenting the history of Tufts, its holdings are strong in environmental studies, theater history, international affairs, broadcast history, and literature.
