What We Can Do For You

The Center for Archival Collections is here for you in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While our reading room is closed and we do not have access to our physical collections, we are committed to assisting remotely as best we can. 

• For research and instructional assistance, send us an email, and our reference archivist will get it to the proper staff member. Staff are checking email between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• Archivists are available via reference chat between 1 and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• All staff members are still checking their voicemail on a regular basis. You may continue to call us with your inquiries, but email remains the best method of communication.

Utilize our Online Resources 

Don't forget that we've posted a wealth of resources online that allow you to continue your research into university and Northwest Ohio history from your home.

• Check out the BG News, Key Yearbooks, Board of Trustees' meeting minutes, and course catalogs.
