The Maryville College Archives will be closed all summer for renovation!

We will be closed to research appointments and donations of items beginning Friday, May 2, 2025 until classes return in the fall of 2025. During this time, please take advantage of our digital collections for your research needs. The Archivist will be available via email if you have any questions, but please note that she will only have access to our digital collections to answer your question as our physical collections will be in storage.

 If you have any questions, please contact the Archivist at amy.lundell@maryvillecollege.edu.

Due to the unique nature of our collections, we are a closed-stacks, non-circulating repository. To view material in our collections, please contact the Maryville College Archivist for an appointment. As staff is limited, appointments are strongly encouraged as only a limited number of researchers can be assisted at any one time. Though same-day appointments may be available, contacting the archivist in advance of your desired appointment time is strongly recommended especially if you have an in-depth research question, limited time for your research visit, or are traveling any distance.

In order to make an appointment, contact the Archivist directly via email (amy.lundell@maryvillecollege.edu) or phone (865-981-8352).

Here's some tips to assist the Archivist in making your appointment:

• Know what you are looking for
  • In some cases, the Archivist may be able to provide you with the information you need without the need for a visit.
  • Knowing what you need to research helps the Archivist determine how much time you may need for your visit
• Know when you are available
  • Provide two or three different dates and times that you are available to visit
• Let the Archivist know if you are traveling from a distance

To prepare for your visit to the Maryville College Archives, please review the following information:

1. Before your visit, please read the Maryville College Archives Policies and Procedures. When you come for your visit, you will sign a form that states that you have read and agree to abide by these rules.
2. You must bring a photo ID (e.g. MC ID, drivers license).
3. We recommend that you bring your choice of note taking equipment: computer, tablet, and/or notebook with pencils. Please do NOT bring pens, highlighters, or permanent markers.
4. You may bring a camera to take photos (no-flash) at the Archivist's discretion.
5. If you would like the Archivist to provide scans of the records, you may bring a USB flash drive for download.
