Historical Note
University Archives was established by the University Libraries in 1972 with the appointment of Alfred Thomas as ASU's first University Archivist. In 1973, Archives collections were moved to the President's Cottage, the home of past presidents Arthur John Matthews, Ralph Swetman, and Grady Gammage between 1907-1959. In 1985, the University Archives became part of the department of Archives and Special Collections. Archives collections and reference services were moved to the Luhrs Reading Room of Hayden Library in 1995.
