Finding Aids

Finding Aids are guides for accessing materials in CSUMB’s archival and manuscript collections. Finding aids typically contain a description and summary of the collection including the scope of its subject matter, relevant people or organizations associated with the material, and dates covered. Finding aids also include a list of the contents that tells users how the collection is structured and where to find particular materials in it.

Please note that not all of our collections have been processed, and we are continually creating new finding aids. To search or browse archival materials still being processed, please visit the CSUMB Archives & Special Collections database.

Archives & Special Collections materials are available for research by appointment only. Always contact our staff in advance of your visit to make an appointment and to indicate the materials you would like to research. For any questions or additional information, please email archives@csumb.edu or visit the Archives & Special Collections webpage.
