Central Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan University Archives

The archives is moving!!!

In December, the archives will be moving to the second floor of Harden Hall. In order to give us time to set up in our new space, the archives will close physically from December 17 to January 9. We will continue to provide remote reference support during this time. Our normal hours of operation will resume on January 12. Thank you for your patience!

We are pleased to announce that we are able to re-open a day earlier than expected! The archives is now open for research as usual.

Due to the Harden Hall construction project, the archives will be unable to access our collection storage areas from May 27-May 30.

We will also be closed to the public from June 2 to June 26 as our building will frequently lack electricity during that time. We will be working remotely and can provide limited reference support.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

The archives will be closed to the public from Monday, December 16 to Wednesday, January 1 due to construction and the holidays. We will be working remotely until Monday, December 23 and will reply to any email inquiries. We apologize for any inconvenience!
