Welcome to the Special Collections and University Archives, the official repository of historically significant records of Furman University. We value college life and student voices and understand the critical importance of documenting student culture.

Our goal is to preserve and share the history student organizations for current and future generations. You can be part of Furman’s story by helping to make your student organization materials available to students and researchers through our Archives. Your group may not have many records, but even if all you have is a website, some photos on social media, or a file folder of papers, we would love to preserve it in the Archives! 

We are especially interested in historical documents from underrepresented groups or materials that advance social justice.

How to transfer physical materials to the archives: 

If you are an FU student or a member of staff who would like to transfer your organization’s records, you may contact the University Archivist to schedule a consultation. We welcome your questions at specialcollections@furman.edu.
