Special Collection and University Archives

Special Collection and University Archives at Samford University supports the Samford University and Alabama Baptist community by providing access to historically significant, rare, and unique materials documenting the history of the University, the State of Alabama, and its religious institutions. To ensure Archivist availability, outside researchers should make an appointment by contacting the department, and may be asked to wait if the collection is being used by students, a class, or a group.
Use SC Call Slips to request materials for your appointment.
