Collection Finding Aids- Blueprints, Manuscripts, and Photographs
Processed collections can requested by patrons in the Holden Reading Room.  Finding aids, both in electronic and paper form, are available and include descriptions of what resides in a collection, the date span of the materials, the names of the collection's author(s), and the size of the collection.  Many of the finding aids are folder-level descriptions.

The University Archives is the official repository for campus and alumni journals, newsletters, press releases and newspapers. Among these are the Texas Techsan, the Catalyst, the Activists' Forum, the La Ventana, Tech Tips, Tex Talks, the Toreador and the University Daily. Miscellaneous Texas Tech publications are also currently being digitized and added online on our DSpace repository. Also now available is an index to the University Daily Newspaper from 1995-2001.

The Texas Tech University Archives participated in the Train to Share grant project to digitize collections pertaining to Texas Energy Resources. The materials include photographs and oral history interviews from various collections found within the holdings of the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library.
