Overview

Established in 1937, the University Archives serves as the institutional memory of Loyola University Chicago.

These records document how Loyola fulfills its mission and reflect the accomplishments that have given Loyola University Chicago its unique identity by promoting knowledge and understanding of the origins, programs, and goals of the University.
