    Archives and Special Collections

    The UCSF Archives and Special Collections is part of the UCSF Library located on the Parnassus campus in San Francisco, California. The UCSF archives serve as the official repository for the preservation of selected records, printed and born-digital materials, and realia generated by or about UCSF, including the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy, School of Dentistry, the Graduate Division, and the UCSF Medical Center. The archives also include rare and unique materials that support research and teaching in the history of the health sciences.

    The institutional archives were officially established in 1963 by UC President Clark Kerr. He mandated the creation of both a records management system and an archives program at UCSF. The medical history rare book collection began in the 1930s, before the establishment of the institutional archives.
