IU Archives

Located on the fourth floor of Wells Library, IU Archives is the largest & most comprehensive source of information on Indiana University Bloomington history & culture. The mission of the archives is to collect, organize, make accessible, and preserve records documenting IU's origins & development.

The University Archives include documents, photos, and other historical pieces that date back to when the university first opened in 1820. You can find anything from old yearbooks and past commencement speakers to photos of sports teams and much more. The organization encourages the public, as well as students, staff, faculty, and researchers, to browse their collections for teaching, research, or pure curiosity.

Admission: Free
