Giving
Main Content
Future historians depend on the generations that precede them to furnish the tools they need to reconstruct the way we lived. SCRC carefully preserves all donated materials to ensure their survival so future generations may learn about the past. See the collecting area interests of our particular archive at Collection Development Policies. To donate historical materials to SCRC, please contact Dr. Anne Marie Hamilton-Brehm, Associate Dean and Director of SCRC, at annemarie.hamiltonbrehm@siu.edu or 618-453-2516.
