In addition to the general resources shared above, the Archives provides access to many specific resources -- archival collections, oral histories, publications, exhibits, archived websites, data sets, and more -- to aid in your research into Stanford students and alumni:

Please Note: The University Archives does provide or mediate access to student transcripts. Please check with the registrar to request access according to FERPA guidelines. The Archives also does not provide digital access to undergraduate honors theses without the express authorization of the student author. 

Archival collections

• Archival collections in the Stanford Archives can be searched and paged for physical review using the Online Archive of California. The Stanford student letters and memorabilia collection includes extensive holdings relating to individual students, though there are an equal number of discrete alumni collections, which may include scrapbooks, photograph albums, and more. Archival collections of student organizations, including Associated Students of Stanford University records and many others, may also include records of individual students. 
   

Oral histories 

• Oral histories conducted through the Stanford Historical Society Oral History Program include Alumni oral histories, Alumni oral history alumni interviews, as well as interviews with AAPI alumni, Black Alumni, Latina/o/e/x alumni, LGBTQIA alumni, and Native alumni. Other interviews including alumni include the Movement Oral History Project.
