UM Digital Collections is the primary source for digitized archival material.  UM Digital Collections currently features over 75,000 digitized items including correspondence, photos, books, newspapers, and film.  This material is freely accessible for browsing, searching, and downloading low- or high-resolution copies. 

The following digital collections range in scope from the entirety of certain collections, to portions of others. Please note that they represent only a fraction of the volume of the Archives' holdings.  If you can not find the resource you desire on-line, please contact the Archives or visit us in person. Arrangements can be made to scan materials you seek.
