University records and publications address topics from academics and campus growth to sports and contemporary social problems. User service and an expanding academic support role are predominant commitments of the Archives. The department welcomes the opportunity to introduce its resources to members of the Marquette community and the public. Nearly one-half of all use during the past 12 years has been from outside the university. Holdings are available for public use, subject to some restrictions placed by offices and donors.
Researchers sign a registration form that includes an agreement to abide by rules governing use.
Although all materials must be used in the department's reading room, photocopies and photographic prints may be obtained. Some form of photographic identification is required for access to Memorial Library. Researchers visiting from outside the Marquette campus are asked to write or phone in advance. Evening and weekend hours by appointment. A current list of charges is available upon request.
