The mission of Mount Saint Mary's Archives and Department of Special Collections is to collect, arrange, and preserve the evidence of the founding, development and growth, purposes, significant decisions, activities, philosophy, programs, and policies of the University. The Archives maintains the historical record of the institution's founders, faculty, supporters, and alumni, as well as the community of which it is a part. The Archives supports the mission of the University by describing these records and artifacts and making them available to faculty, administrators, seminarians, students, alumni, and the community.
The Archives collects records documenting the activities, decisions, policies, and programs of faculty departments and administrative offices. The Archives also collects the personal papers of prominent officers, faculty, and alumni. It serves as a resource for information on the history of the University, the local community, and practice of Catholicism in Maryland in general and northwestern Maryland and south-central Pennsylvania in particular. The Archives collects artwork and artifacts associated with the University and its faculty, alumni, and supporters, and with the history and practice of Catholicism.
