• All of our holdings, including the photographs and collections referenced in this guide, are physically available through the Special Collections & Archives Research Center located on the main floor of Strozier Library on Florida State University’s Tallahassee campus. 
• Some of our materials are available in FSU's digital library, DigiNole.

Spaces

The Heritage Museum and the Norwood Reading Room are public spaces that are part of Heritage & University Archives.

• The Heritage Museum is located in Dodd Hall, which was the library for Florida State College for Women and then FSU from 1923 to 1956. Exhibits in the museum display photographs, ephemera, and artifacts that document the history of FSU.
• The Norwood Reading room is located on the second floor of Strozier Library and is a quiet space dedicated to the founder of Heritage & University Archives, Mary Lou Norwood. This space also features an annually rotating exhibition that showcases Florida State University related materials.
