SCUA Mission
It is the mission of Special Collections/University Archives to collect, preserve, and provide access to primary sources and rare and unique materials that support Bucknell University's academic mission and meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of students, faculty and staff, and researchers.
About SCUA
Special Collections/University Archives (SCUA) is responsible for collecting, preserving, and providing access to Bucknell's collections of rare books, manuscripts, and the university archives collection that is composed of the institutional records of Bucknell University. We make these materials available for Bucknell students, faculty, and staff, as well as external researchers.
In addition, we engage with faculty and students through classroom instruction sessions in which our rare and unique materials are utilized within the curriculum to increase primary source literacy and an understanding of book history and materiality.
