Archival collections are to be used only in the designated reading area. Patrons are required to use pencils while working with collections 

The University Archives is the official repository for all non-current and inactive records of Duquesne University that are determined by the University Archivist to have enduring administrative, historic or legal value. The University Archives welcomes donations of records, photographs, and other materials that document Duquesne’s history. Those wishing to donate to the collections should contact the University Archivist. 

Reference and research requests may be made by telephone and email. 

Photocopying is permitted at the discretion of the University Archivist. Photocopies will be made by a member of the Archives staff or by patrons authorized to take materials to an appropriate copy machine in the library. They will be required to leave a form of identification with the staff until the material is returned. The University Archives reserves the right to limit the use of fragile, deteriorating, or rare material that may be further damaged by handling. However, every attempt will be made to make collections available.
