Located in Gibson D. Lewis Library, University Archives is devoted to preserving and providing access to historical medical collections and the institutional records of the UNT Health Science Center.

The University Archives Digital Collections provides free access to materials in the archives and may be used for personal research purposes. The Digital Collections are regularly being added to, so check back often. If you have additional information about any of the materials in the Digital Collections, please contact the University Archives.

 

The University Archives offers digital reproduction services of its materials to students, faculty, staff, and the general public to facilitate private study, research, or scholarship. Reproductions of materials can be provided when such reproductions will not damage the original, violate copyright, or violate any restrictions imposed by the donor.

 

The University of North Texas Health Science Center University Archives preserves and provides access to the permanent historical records of the university and related osteopathic collections. The Archives aims to describe collection materials in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and represent its holdings. Some content in the materials or language in resource descriptions may reflect outdated, biased, and offensive views and opinions. In some instances, language contained in the collections was used by the people and organizations that created the materials or by outside sources describing materials prior to acquisition by the UNTHSC University Archives. HSC collection cataloging standards and guidelines follow those of the National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) for medical materials and Library of Congress Subject Headings for non-medical materials. The University Archives recognizes that descriptive practices and terminology evolve over time and that efforts to create respectful and inclusive descriptions must be ongoing and as such makes an institutional commitment to university values and accessibility.
