News and Announcements
Archives Renovation Campaign
Working alongside architects and preservation experts, we’ve developed a comprehensive plan to upgrade our storage facility. These renovations will create a state-of-the-art, temperature- and humidity-controlled, waterproof environment — ensuring the long-term protection of the documents, media, and artifacts entrusted to us.
Your gift will help safeguard our archives with advanced climate control and space-saving mobile shelving. Give today to help us preserve and share history for generations to come.
Hands-On Humanities
The Cummings Center shares our building with the Institute for Human Science and Culture, a hands-on humanities center serving The University of Akron campus and the wider Akron community. The Institute is located on the 3rd and 4th floors of our building. It offers unique exhibits, collections, for-credit courses, and educational programs. Visit the Institute website to learn more.
