ESU Archives is on the Move!





Due to planned HVAC and electrical renovations in the William Allen White Library, ESU Archives will be moved soon to the Anderson Memorial Library on C of E Drive. Archives personnel are currently packing collections, office equipment and supplies to be ready for the move. During the week of September 22, a local moving company will transport our collections from the White Library to the Anderson Library. In order to focus completely on the move, the Archives Reading Room (White Library, room 119) will be unavailable to on-site researchers from September 22-25.

Beginning October 1, the Archives Reading Room will be closed for the duration of the renovations. The May Massee Gallery in room 308B of the White Library will remain open, and the May Massee Collection will remain open to on-site researchers during the renovations. Researchers can still access all of the collections via Research Service. For more information or to submit a Research Service request, e-mail archives@emporia.edu or call Archives personnel at (620)341-6431. We are happy to make copies, scan items or help with your archival research needs in any way that we can.

You can access many of our finding aids online through the Archives Catalog (http://www.emporia.edu/libsv/) or the “Libraries and Archives” tab in Buzz-In.
Because the collections are being warehoused during the renovations, the amount of time it takes to process research requests will increase. Your patience and understanding is appreciated!
