University of Winnipeg Archives

The University of Winnipeg Archives will be reopening on September 7th with operating hours of 9:00-4:30, Monday to Friday. While we will be accepting walk-in visits from University of Winnipeg students, faculty and staff, capacity limits are in place so appointments are strongly encouraged.

Please note that visitors from outside the University community are permitted by appointment only.  Please email University Archivist and Digital Curator, Brett Lougheed, at b.lougheed@uwinnipeg.ca to arrange your visit.

The University of Winnipeg has implemented a mask and vaccine mandate for everyone on campus. Additional precautions will be in place to protect the safety of our users and our staff including distancing, sanitization, and appropriate signage. Onsite class or large group visits cannot be accommodated at this time but remote instructional requests are welcomed.
