A guide to using ArchivesSpace, FSU's finding aid database.

ArchivesSpace at FSU

ArchivesSpace is the database that contains descriptions of the archives and manuscripts collections held at Florida State University. These collections include university archives, faculty and alumni papers, manuscript and artifact collections, and organizational and business records represented in five repositories: Special Collections & Archives, the Florida State Law Research Center, the Allen Music Library Special Collections, the John A. Degen Resource Room at the School of Theatre, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Archives. The navigation menu on the left hand side of the page will guide researchers through how to navigate and search ArchivesSpace, as well as how to read a collection record.
