The Pollak Library's University Archives and Special Collections is the guardian of campus memories and the steward of rare and unique materials that support education and scholarly research.
University Archives’ stewardship of collections chronicling CSUF’s legacy of leadership and innovation is a responsibility the Pollak Library takes to heart. These special collections curate and safeguard artifacts and documents unavailable elsewhere, providing vital resources for scholarly research and education. With your support, we can create a secure yet accessible and inviting space to welcome the Titan community to explore our collections and protect these irreplaceable resources.
We are planning to expand the Pollak Library’s special collections into an exciting new area: Latinx science fiction, beginning with local authors. This will build upon the Library’s renowned collections in science fiction, and complement our local history and Chicanx collections as well. Your gift can provide seed money to launch our collecting efforts.
While the vision of a new home on the sixth floor of the Pollak Library South is being finalized, we invite you to be a part of our excitement about these collections and continue to safeguard our history.
The Pollak Library envisions the University Archives and Special Collections’ new home as a secure, accessible and invitingly comfortable space. Gifts will help create an environment which encourages scholastic study and collection exploration, while providing the climate-controlled storage needed for preservation that is essential to fulfill our mission of service to the campus community.
Your generous donation to the Pollak Library's University Archives and Special Collections will help us to launch our collection of Latinx science fiction and to make our vision of creating a space to better serve our patrons a reality.
