Exhibits and Special Projects
The Bentley Historical Library houses the archives for the University of Michigan and serves as a repository for the State of Michigan. In this role we provide answers to many basic questions about the University, its history, and former students, faculty, and staff. Likewise, we also provide answers to questions about citizens and events related to the State of Michigan. Many different resources have been created to answer these questions.
Some of the online resources have been created by the archivists here at the Bentley while others have been created by other departments and collaborative projects either on campus or within the community. This page was created to help direct you to these resources.
