The University Archives serves as the institutional memory of Loyola University Chicago. Serving all Loyola campuses, the University Archives collects, organizes, preserves, and makes accessible in a central location non-current official University records and ancillary records of enduring historical and legal value. These records document how the University fulfills its mission and reflect the accomplishments that have given Loyola University Chicago its unique identity. The University Archives actively encourages the use of its holdings by members of the Loyola community and the general public.
