The Archives participates in managing and providing content to the library’s institutional repository. This digital collection holds research and teaching materials created by the Saint Mary's University community, including archival images, theses, faculty projects, and university publications, as well as other special campus collections.
Visit the repository and explore its collections, which include numerous faculty articles and other works.
The Archives collects and receives materials of historical value to Saint Mary's University, including publications of the University's administrative and academic departments and documents of related societies, staff, faculty, students and alumni. Material of a more general historical interest is also collected. The Archives collections policy can be found on our website, and finding aids for some of our major collections are available on MemoryNS. We are proud to be the home of the Salzinnes Antiphonal, as well as The Lynn Jones African Canadian & Diaspora Heritage Collection.
Material in the Archival Collection is generally available to be viewed in the Archives reading room on the third floor of the Library during our open hours. Access to certain material may be restricted due to various reasons, including fragility of documents.
More information on accessing archival materials is available on the About Saint Mary's Archives webpage.
Submission procedures and forms for dissertations, theses, and MRPs can be found on the Submit Theses for Publishing webpage. Please note that the library does not arrange for the binding of personal copies of theses. Faculty who supervise students writing dissertations, theses, or MRPs can make things easier for students and themselves by making sure they are familiar with submission guidelines.
