History

The mission of the Asbury University Archives & Special Collections is to support the University by evaluating, collecting, organizing, describing, preserving, and providing access to the institution's archival records and to special collections of rare and unique materials. Moreover, as the historical repository for a Christ-centered university, we strive first and foremost in our work to preserve a record of the many ways in which our Lord has touched the lives of Asburians, and to promote an awareness of that record among Asbury's constituents.

On this website you will find information about Archives services and collections as well as a showcase of archived information in three categories: Asbury's history, biographies of prominent alumni, and institutional traditions. These entries serve as a sample of the kind of materials and information that are available in the Asbury University Archives as well as a resource of people, events, and traditions that have had meaning to members of the Asbury community throughout its history.

The Asbury University Archives are located on the lower level of the Kinlaw Library.
