Using Our Collections

The Archives will be closed until further notice. Our archives staff have compiled a list of digitized materials available online from archives and special collections: UMD Archives & Special Collections Online Resources

Archives staff can assist with your research in-person, by email, or over the phone. Please contact us before your visit. We can help you identify which of our resources will be most useful to you. If you are unable to visit the archives, we may be able to locate and scan a limited number of materials for you.

The collections housed here include those owned by the University of Minnesota Duluth and the Northeastern Minnesota Historical Collections which are on permanent loan from the St. Louis County Historical Society.

Make an appointment to use the archives by emailing libarchives@d.umn.edu or calling  218-726-8526. Appointments are generally scheduled Monday - Friday between the hours of 8:30 - Noon and 1:00 - 4:30 pm. Please ask if you need an appointment outside of these hours.
