The Archives and Special Collections department in the Northeastern University Libraries is an archival repository of manuscripts, photographs, and other primary sources that illuminate the history of under-represented communities in Boston, Massachusetts and the history of Northeastern University.[1]

Subject strengths include the History of African Americans in Boston, Chinese Americans in Boston, Hispanic and Latino Americans in Boston[2], and LGBT culture in Boston. Other subjects include Urban Planning[3] and Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel project (the "Big Dig"), the history of Boston's neighborhoods[4], and the Civil rights movement in Boston.

The Archives are free and open to the public.

History

The Northeastern University Archives were established in the Northeastern University Library in 1994. [5] In 1998, the Library added a special collecting focus, to "plan for the long-term, systematic preservation of records documenting the African American, Chinese, Latino, and gay and lesbian communities in Boston." [6][7]

The collecting focus grew in the subsequent years to include a "diverse and growing collection of historical records relating to Boston’s fight for social justice[8]," as well as "Boston’s public infrastructure, neighborhoods, and natural environments.[8]"

Collections

The Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections houses over 500 archival and manuscript collections, including personal papers, organizational records, and the archives of Northeastern University. Collections include:
