Welcome to the University of Alberta Archives
The University of Alberta Archives (UAA) is the official repository for the permanently valuable records of the University of Alberta and its affiliated institutions. The archives acquires, preserves and makes available university records and private papers from faculty, staff, students, alumni and various university related organizations. With over 9,000 linear metres of records, we are the second largest archival repository in Alberta.
Reading Room Hours

Due to the secure nature of the facility, drop-in access is not permitted.
