To search the archives, manuscripts, and pamphlets in the SCRC, use the Finding Aids tab

A finding aid is a single document that places archival materials in context by consolidating information about the collection. It's also a tool that facilitates discovery of information and helps users gain access to and understand archival materials.

Pamphlets and more can be found by doing a keyword search on the SCRC home page, again using the search widget in the upper right hand corner of our home page.  Select the Finding Aids tab and enter your keywords.
