Archives and History

The University of Dallas Archives and Special Collections are happy to handle requests for information regarding University of Dallas history or anything else housed in the University Archives. To request information, please fill and submit our Archival Information Request Form.

The University of Dallas Archives and Special Collections is located separately from the Cowan-Blakley Memorial Library.  The Archives is located on the backside of the Blakley Building, with the entrance facing Novinski (formerly Haggar) Circle. Visitor parking is available close by; there is also limited parking available specifically for those visiting the Archives.  Please email the Archivist for appointments.

UDSpace is a searchable, cloud–based platform that stores, collects, and displays historical and scholarly documents, lectures, conferences, student publications, and media related to the University of Dallas. 

Several of UD's yearbooks are available via ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is a paid subscription service; however, many public libraries offer free access with your library card. Please check with your local public library for details about gaining free access.
