Collections of original source materials for research, primarily the humanities and social sciences, comprise the foundation upon which the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center is built. The professional staff in Archives & Special Collections preserves and makes accessible records of enduring value that require special handling. The record of the university’s history, its official archive, is also maintained here.
Subjects of interest may include the anti-slavery movement and slavery in Latin America. Please note, that many documents on Latin American slavery in the Dodd Center will be in Spanish.
