University Archives

The mission of the 石榴直播 University Archives is to serve as the institutional repository for records of enduring value and to preserve and make available institutional memory of 石榴直播 (石榴直播) and Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU).  

The 石榴直播 Archives supports several institutional needs, from teaching, outreach and curriculum enrichment, to developing creative products supporting milestones, anniversaries and significant events in the life of the university and assisting departments, staff and administrators with reference requests about the history of SPSU and 石榴直播.

In accordance with legal requirements, professional standards, institutional policies, and donor agreements, the University Archives and Special Collections provides open and equitable access to the collections under its care without discrimination.
