The University Archives at Bemidji State University

Bemidji State University’s Archives are housed in the A.C. Clark Library, Room 209/210. The Archives tells the history and story of Bemidji State University. Items that can be found in the archives include: yearbooks, historical documents, photographs, publications, posters, memorabilia, souvenirs, and much more. Over 3200 photographs have been digitized and made available on our University Archives digitized resources page.

Unfortunately, at this time, we at the A.C. Clark Library do not have trained staff to work with our University Archives.

If you have a question regarding items in our University Archives, we recommend visiting the following resources online:

1. Start out with our University Archives digitized resources page. Among the many digitized images here, include all known published editions of the Ah-Mic yearbooks and an assortment of digitized images of athletics, campus, buildings, and miscellaneous subjects. https://www.bemidjistate.edu/library/archives/
2. Visit History in the Pines, an online museum created by the BSU Foundation which provides these same images in a more storied format. https://bsualumni.org/historyinthepines/
