Preserving & Providing Access
The University Archives and Special Collections department of Williams Library exists to preserve the history of Northern State University. Additionally, our goal is to serve as a repository for regional history manuscript material. We are committed to obtaining, preserving, and making original documents pertaining to NSU history and the surrounding region accessible to the public.
Collection Development Policy
The three primary goals for our formal policy are to:
- Guide staff in selecting, managing, and preserving the collection
- Identify collections to be developed
- Keep the public informed of the items kept in our collections
