Collections

The Special Collections Resource Center (SCRC) is home to Syracuse University's rare printed and archival materials, including original manuscripts, photographs, artwork, audio recordings, and much more. Open to students, faculty, staff, and visitors, the SCRC provides an in-depth look, not only at the history of Syracuse University, but also at topics ranging in time, format, and academic interest.

Museums and Galleries

The Coalition of Museum and Art Centers (CMAC) at Syracuse University showcases the University’s holdings, academic research in the arts, and art community resources by exploring the visual and electronic arts through exhibitions, publications, public presentations, education and scholarship.

CMAC brings together the programs, services and projects of several different art centers and museums in the campus community in an effort to expand the public’s awareness, understanding, appreciation and involvement in the visual and electronic arts.
