Nabb Center Finding Aid Portal
The archives of the Nabb Research Center encompass a diverse group of historical collections found in the Local History Archives, University Archives, and Special Collections. These primary sources offer researchers a glimpse into the past lives of people in the Chesapeake region and beyond. Our Finding Aid Portal provides descriptions of the Nabb Research Center’s archival collections, as well as their affiliated artifacts, to help facilitate access to the materials.
Collections are non-circulating and may be used in our research room located on the 4th floor of the Guerrieri Academic Commons. For questions please contact us at nabbcenter@salisbury.edu
Digital collections from the Nabb Research Center can be found in Internet Archive and Flickr, as well as YouTube, SOAR@SU and Digital Maryland. More resources include Enduring Connections: Exploring Delmarva's Black History, our online exhibitions, and research guides.
