Stockton University Archives

Stockton University Archives contain official and unofficial records of the institution. These include things like the Bulletin, Board of Trustees meeting agendas and minutes, yearbooks, reports, presidential correspondence, photographs, newspapers and newsletters, and information from various campus divisions, departments, and programs. Materials are available in the Reading Room, by appointment, or by contacting us. 

We are always interested in donations of materials - from staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community members. We are especially interested in collecting items from:

  • Student organizations, like clubs, Greek life, and sports: meeting minutes, membership lists, budgets, and scrapbooks and photographs showing the organizations' activities
  • Student life: dining hall menus, residence hall newsletters, and scrapbooks and photographs showing everyday student life and special occasions
  • Academic programs administration: meeting minutes, program reports, self-studies
  • Faculty publications: published books and articles for a special collection on faculty research
  • Distinguished faculty research: selected notes, reports, and research materials, along with published books and articles from Distinguished Faculty

Most materials in Archives and Special Collections are open for use by the general public, Stockton University faculty, students, and alumni. To properly ensure the long­-term accessibility and preservation of these collections, they do not circulate and must be used by researchers in a designated space.

During the library renovation, tables will be designated in the C/D Atrium for use. Researchers must follow these best practices:

  • Make an appointment in advance, requesting the materials you wish to see. If you are unsure, please indicate the topic you are researching or schedule a research consultation with the Special Collections Librarian.
  • Food and drink are not allowed at the Special Collections tables.
  • Please use a pencil or your computer to take any notes. Gloves are provided for you to use for photograph collections.
  • Do not mark or crease any of the items or place anything on top of them (i.e. your computer, notebook, elbows).
  • Maintain folders and papers in the order in which you found them. Bookmarks are provided to help with this. 
  • Photographs and scans of materials for personal use are allowed. 
  • If you need to step away while you are looking at the materials, please inform a library employee at the desk.
  • Please return materials all materials to the cart when finished and let a library employee know you are finished and when you plan to visit again to continue your research.     

Please ask a library employee if you have any questions!
