The majority of the materials in the College Archives are searchable through Archives Space.

Fall 2024

The Beloit College Archives is open by appointment only.

Beginning summer 2023, the physical archives will be unavailable for viewing during the library renovation. Digital resources will continue to be available.

We anticipate the return of the physical archives in November 2024, and look forward to having them available for viewing during the spring semester.

To schedule a research consultation, please contact Fred Burwell (burwellf@253000xa.com) or call 608-363-2485.
