University Archives Research Guides
The Emory University Archives is charged by the university with collecting, preserving and providing access to records and related materials documenting the history and function of Emory University, its predecessor schools, and related organizations. This research guide lists and provides links to the finding aids for the most significant and largest collections. It does not offer a complete list. It serves as a preliminary research tool, providing a brief description of the collections.

Names on Emory University's campuses reflect the institution’s history. Appointed in 2020, the University Committee on Naming Honors reviewed new historic and contested historic names associated with buildings, spaces, programs, scholarships, and other honors named for individuals in Emory’s history. This guide provides a number of resources on the life and times of select individuals that help to contextualize the university’s recent examination of its named spaces and programs.
Machleith Photo System. Law School - Lamar Law School Postcard. 1920. Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, Box 10, Folder 10.

This online resource exposes archival evidence of Black student activism as it exists in the University Archives at Emory University. The materials presented here are not exhaustive but represent months of searching, reading, citing, digitizing, and compiling. It is the hope that those who take the time to closely read these materials will have a more complete picture of what it took for Black students to make change at Emory and be inspired to further engage through research.
The on-site exhibit is located at the Robert W. Woodruff Library on Level 3.
