The purpose of Archives & Special Collections, a unit of the duPont-Ball Library, is to safeguard Stetson's history and unique cultural heritage. We collect and provide access to records that document Stetson's past, as well as other unique and/or rare items of historical interest.
Our office serves Stetson's administration, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as guests from around the world. Many of our holdings are available online through the Stetson Digital Archives, though researchers are welcome to call, email, or visit us in person. The duPont-Ball Library Archives and Special Collections is committed to the ideal of universal web accessibility and strives to provide an accessible web presence that enables all university community members and visitors full access to information provided online. In the event a user encounters content that is not accessible, please contact us through email (archives@stetson.edu) so that we may assist you.
This guide offers a brief overview of our collections, which are divided into two categories: the Stetson Archives, comprised of Stetson-generated content; and Stetson's Special Collections, which include materials produced outside the University.
