Special Collections and University Archives

Welcome

UVic Special Collections and University Archives acquires, preserves and provides access to archives and collections in a variety of subject areas, in support of learning, research, and innovation.

We welcome students, faculty, staff, the public, and interested researchers to explore our holdings. This database (AtoM) contains descriptions of records existing in many media and formats; where digital copies are available, they are accessible directly from the description. Over time, we will be increasing the digital content available through the site.

To get started, use the search box or select a browse option.
