Archives and Special Collections Endowment

Inspired by Colorado State University’s land-grant mission, Archives & Special Collections preserves and provides access to distinctive archival, photographic, and print materials documenting Colorado’s history, especially in agriculture and water. As the official archives of CSU, the collection supports students and scholars worldwide with primary resources spanning water management, engineering, law, endangered species, and agricultural research. From CSU presidential records to historic photographs dating back to the 1870s, these collections safeguard Colorado’s legacy while advancing how knowledge is shared, studied, and preserved for future generations.
