The Special Collections/ Archives Department (SCAD) is the repository of various collections, including The Wilhelmina Delco, African American Heritage of the West, T. K. Lawless, and many others, and we also are gatekeepers of the university’s records, photographs, and other artifacts that document institutional history. The department is processing collections and will post that information as it becomes available.
Please check periodically for more up-to-date information and stop by Digital Commons@PVAMU to access other university publications.
Some collections can be accessed online, and others are only accessible by visiting our reading room.
