About Special Collections & University Archives
A Digital Collection of Northern Utah
It is the intent and purpose of Special Collections & University Archives (SCUA) to collect, preserve, and provide access to materials that document the history of Ogden City, Weber & Davis counties, and the intellectual, social, and administrative history of WSU specifically, and Northern Utah generally. View Digital Collections, Finding Aids, Digital Exhibits, and Oral Histories.
The materials used to create these collections are the property of the Special Collections and University Archives of Weber State University’s Stewart Library. Collections are chosen based on their uniqueness, research merit, potential for curriculum support, and appeal. Copyright restrictions, condition of the materials, and extent of data available to describe the materials also factor into material selection. Typically, collections spotlight historical photographs, journals, old newspapers, letters, and other interesting items from our Special Collections and University Archives. Also included, are holdings supporting collaborative projects such as the Digital Public Library of America, GWLA Western Waters Project, History in Your Attic, Mountain West Digital Library, etc. By digitizing these one-of-a-kind or rare materials, the Digital Library opens them up to users everywhere, enhances access by subject and keyword searching, and reduces wear and tear on the originals.
