Welcome
UC Irvine Libraries Special Collections and Archives (SCA) acquires, preserves, and makes accessible collections of archives, rare books, manuscripts, photographs, ephemera, born-digital files (originally created in digital form), and other rare and unique materials. Our holdings include the Orange County Regional History Center, the Southeast Asian Archive, University Archives, tens of thousands of rare books including a First Folio of Shakespeare, and strong collections in the areas of artists' books, critical theory, performing arts, and political literature.
SCA provides instructional programs for UC Irvine undergraduates and graduate classes and the community in a range of disciplines and subjects. We also provide research assistance, digitization and duplication services, and consultations on oral history and archival best practices.
We welcome students, staff, faculty, independent researchers, and community members to visit us on the fifth floor of Langson Library or in the OC&SEAA Center.
