Digital Initiatives
We're committed to sharing our archives online!
Special Collections is continually looking for new ways to facilitate access to our collections and to increasingly open the archives to members of the UB community, the Baltimore area, and the general public. Our digital initiatives include:
Archives 24/7
A mass-digitization project launched in 2006, Archives 24/7 aims to make as much of the department's archival collections available online as possible. To date, we have digitized 19 collections in their entirety.

Digital Collections @ UB
This digital library project places selected materials from the archives in an enhanced environment for discovery. These collection highlights often point to additional digitized material on our website.

ubarchives on Historypin
Our most recent endeavor in public history, Historypin is another fun way to share our collections through mapping historic photos and comparing these images to contemporary street views.

UB Yearbooks
Popular demand prompted us to create a dedicated webpage to allow alumni and friends of UB to explore the past through university yearbooks from 1928 to 1975.

UB Catalogs
Special Collections recognized what an invaluable tool archived academic catalogs can be for the UB community. Available here are catalogs for undergrads, grads, and law from 1925 to 2010.

Documents on Demand
Upon request, Special Collections staff will scan specific material from collections (usually 5 folders or less) requested by researchers unable to visit the archives in person.
