The University Archives, on the 4th floor of the library, preserves historical records, publications and graduate theses of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (University Records) as well as personal and professional papers of faculty, staff, students and selected individuals and organizations from the surrounding communities of southeastern Massach usetts (Manuscript Collections). Manuscript collection strengths include documentation of local ethnic communities.

Special Collections includes rare books, faculty publications, books on local historical topics, a collection of psychological tests, and the Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Archives. All books are catalogued on the Library's Find books,Videos & Music online system, but they do not circulate.
