Department History:

The Archives house Suffolk University’s archival records and other related special collections. The University Archives was formally established in the 1950s by Hiram Archer, brother of founder Gleason Archer. The Archives contain records of enduring value to the university from its inception in 1906 to the present. The special collections include manuscripts, film and book collections donated to the university. The premier manuscript collection is the Congressman John Joseph Moakley Papers, donated by Suffolk University Law School alumni and trustee Joe Moakley in 2001.
