The Archives contains records of our university history.

| Lackland Band Uniform |
This includes memorabilia (scrapbooks, dance booklets, photographs, the uniform to the right), as well as publications by students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
These items range from the personal to the public; they include first-hand accounts of a nurse in World War I, and artifacts of the first buildings on campus. These are all materials that are relevant to the University's history and are a part of our shared memory.
We have selected a small portion of historical materials to digitize. Click to view and search:
The Argus and other student and alumni publications
We also have a variety of materials in Digital Commons. These include publications (John Wesley Powell Research Conference materials, Honors Projects, meeting minutes and other permanent records of IWU), some of which do not exist physically in the Archives. Student works in Digital Commons are recommened by faculty or through peer reviewed editorial processes.
This is the physical structure of the Archives. This structure is reflected in the full Finding Aid (caution: large pdf).
