About SCUA

Welcome to the Special Collections & University Archives department of UNCG University Libraries. Our mission is to collect, preserve, organize, and make accessible the often unique or rare materials that document the history of our university and the Piedmont Triad region, as well as the history of women in the United States military.

Special Collections and University Archives is open Monday-Friday, 9:00am-4:00pm, when Jackson Library is open.

Please email scua@uncg.edu to schedule an appointment to view archival materials. Appointments are encouraged and will be prioritized. Please indicate dates and times for your visit, which collection you would like to view, what specific parts of the collection (boxes or folders) you would like to view, and if you plan to scan materials. Please allow 48 hours for retrieval of materials, as some materials may be stored off-site.
