Our Collecting Areas

Regional History

We actively collect materials detailing the rich cultural and environmental history of the San Joaquin Valley and the Sierra Nevada regions.

University Archives

The UC Merced University Archives documents the growing and rich history of the University of California’s tenth campus.

Faculty Papers

As part of our commitment to document the history of UC Merced, we collect materials related to the academic and research activities of its faculty.

UC Cooperative Extension

Beginning in 2016, the UC Merced Library worked with UCCE county offices to archive historical materials, with additional support from an NHPRC Major Initiatives grant and an NEH American Rescue Plan grant. The CARA project aimed to promote and provide access to historical materials pertaining to California agriculture.
