Introduction

The University Artifacts and Memorabilia Collection (RG 62) was assembled by the Special Collections Department and University Archives. The collection is comprised of multiple accessions of ephemeral material acquired over the years and contains items donated to the department by faculty, staff and alumni.

Preservation steps have been taken in accordance with accepted museum and archival standards for the storage of the collection’s artifacts and textiles. Items have been removed from acidic containers and housed in un-buffered containers.

In citing the collection, please credit it as follows: University Artifact & Memorabilia, RG 62, University Archives, and Stony Brook University Libraries. Materials within this collection may be located with the use of the collection's finding aid, available in hardcopy and online through the University's Libraries' web page.
