The Patrons of the Library have got a challenge for you! When 44 donors make a gift to the Pollak Library a $5,000 bonus prize will be unlocked!
Additionally, gifts will be matched up to $1,000 to the Pollak Library thanks to our generous Library emeriti.
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. Our special collections curate and safeguard documents, books, and artifacts unavailable elsewhere, providing vital resources for Titan scholars and learners, and researchers around the world. With your support, we can create a secure yet accessible and inviting space to welcome the Titan community to explore our collections, while also protecting these irreplaceable resources.
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. Your gift 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 make our vision of creating a space to better serve the Titan community a reality.
Any level of donation is always appreciated but this is your chance to book your place in Pollak Library history!
