An Archive retains mostly unpublished materials, like letters, records, diaries, meeting minutes, etc. Unlike a Library, access to an Archive is usually restricted, and a staff member retrieves items for your use. Collections of materials in an Archive is typically organized according to creator, while a library collection is usually organized by subject.
While an Archive contains historical and unpublished materials, a Special Collections maintains rare and unusual materials.
Clark University's Archives and Special Collections offers a wide array of university history and rare materials that are available for research.
