Special Collections at the University of Baltimore

Preserving the Past for the Future

For a quarter century the University of Baltimore has collected the records that document the making of the modern city of Baltimore. These include 134 distinct archival collections such as: civic organizations, the built environment, and public and nonprofit agencies. Added to these are scores of oral histories, photographs, architectural plans, and the papers of prominent Baltimore citizens.

All of the collections are available to the general public, as well as the students and faculty of the University of Baltimore. A number of collections are available online. To access the holdings that are not digitized please complete the Research Request Form (click the hot link on the left hand column) to schedule your research appointment. The Special Collections Department is open by appointment only.
