Ithaca College Archives

Archives staff are available to support research requests from members of the Ithaca College community. While requests from outside researchers may be considered, due to staffing constraints priority will be given to students, faculty, and staff as well as retirees and alumni. Researchers interested in visiting the archives must request an appointment at least 24 hours in advance.

Requests for digitization or electronic circulation of assets will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to various restrictions, including copyright protections, access limitations placed on assets by donors, and other factors including, but not limited to, availability of equipment and staff.

All researchers must use the archives service form to request assistance or schedule an appointment.

College Records

The archives collects the records of administrative and academic departments, assorted student organizations, and select individuals with ties to the college. The materials housed by the archives include but are not limited to audio and video recordings, photo materials, documents and papers, and ephemera and realia. Some collection-level details are discoverable in the catalog by restricting a search to the Ithaca College Archives location. Access to some collections is restricted.
