About the Archives

The Laurentian University Archives serves to preserve and promote the memory of the University community, as well as the collective memory of Northeastern Ontario. The Archives must also meet the needs of teaching and research by ensuring access to archival material.

 

Located on the first floor of the J.N. Desmarais Library, the Archives are open to all. 

 

We hold institutional archives created by Laurentian University, as well as non-institutional archival fonds from organizations and individuals from the Northern Ontario community. 

 

Seven special collections are also housed in the Archives.

How to find us

The Laurentian University Archives are located on the first floor of the J.N. Desmarais Library, on the main Laurentian University campus, 935 Ramsey Lake Road in Sudbury, Ontario.

Upon entering the J.N. Desmarais building, you are in the library rotunda. The large spiral staircase leads to the main entrance of the J.N. Desmarais Library on the 2nd floor. An elevator is also available. When you enter the library, you will see the Library Service Counter to the left. Walk past the desk, and take the stairs (or elevator to the right) down one floor to the 1st floor. At the end of the hallway on the 1st floor you will find the doors leading to the Archives and Special Collections.
