Special Collections and Archives

Welcome to Special Collections and Archives at Clemson University Libraries! We preserve and make accessible over 450 manuscript collections as well as the University Archives. Students, staff, faculty, and the public are invited to visit us to make use of collections that span areas including architecture, military history, agriculture and forestry, local history, University archives, and more.

We are open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and Friday by appointment. If you’d like to reach us, please contact the Special Collections and Archives. As some of our collections are stored off-site, we strongly recommend that researchers make an appointment to visit us. This allows Special Collections and Archives staff to have the materials you wish to consult ready when you arrive.
