Finding Collections

Archival collections, like those in ARB's Urban Studies collection, are described using finding aids that provide a detailed inventory of the contents of each collection. Finding aids for the Urban Studies collection can be found online through the ARB website and through the OhioLINK EAD Finding Aid Repository. Please note that like many archives we are still converting finding aids from paper format to online format. If you don't see what you're looking for, give us a call or send us an email.
