The new Archives and Special Collections and South Dakota Oral History (SDOHC) space is open to visitors as of March 28th, 2022. The renovation and expansion project saw increase in teaching, research, office, and collections spaces for the ASC and SDOHC.
We encourage anyone to stop by to see the new space.
The 30-seat reading room serves as both a research and teaching space. Here we will seat individual users of both ASC and SDOHC materials. We will also welcome classes for primary source instruction sessions. Use as general study is encouraged during business hours.
The processing space where students and staff will conduct collections work.
Older spaces will serve as additional collections storage. This space will become the new home of the following book collections: Cash, Chilson Oversize, Health Sciences Rare Books, Mahoney, and Special Books.
A new state-of-the-art digital imaging lab will aid in our digitization and preservation efforts.
