Welcome to the Purdue University Northwest Archives and Special Collections digital repository. Our catalog includes a diverse range of digital media and finding aids. Researchers depend on "finding aids" to pinpoint archival records pertinent to their research topics. The finding aids available on our website offer thorough descriptions of our archival collections. These descriptions may feature a concise paragraph explaining the record and its creator, or summarizing the collection, followed by a more detailed list of folders.

**Our Mission**

The Mission of Purdue University Northwest Archives and Special Collections is to identify, collect, preserve, and make materials of value that document the history, culture, scholarship, advancements, people, and achievements of the university’s faculty, staff, and students accessible to researchers.

**What is an Archive and Special Collection?**

Our department holds books, documents, photographs and other items that are important to Purdue University Northwest history. Many of these resources are irreplaceable, so our policies and procedures are different from the rest of the University Library.
