Introduction to Archival Research: CU Library Catalog

CU Library Catalog

Some books and periodicals from within our archival collections can be searched in the CU Boulder Library catalog. We recommend using the Library's older platform, the classic catalog.

Type your search terms into the bar: 

To the right of the search results, look under "Refine Results" for the "Shelving Location" field. Click the arrow next to "Shelving Location" to expand more options. 

Click the arrow to expand "Norlin Library":

Choose "Archives" from the expanded menu.

 

If you know the name of the collection you would like to search within, you can include the collection name as a search term when you make your search.

Note the following within the search results: 

  • The Location will say "Norlin Library - Archives Stacks."
  • The Notes will say "Place hold for Use in Reading Room Only." Because this item is part of an archival collection, it can only be accessed within the Libraries' Reading Room. 
  • You can click on the name of the collection under Other title to see more publications from that collection.

To request to see this item, send an email to rad@colorado.edu. Include as much information as possible about the item: 

  • Title and author
  • Location/collection
  • Call number

Or include the permanent link to the record, from the top right of the item page.
