The Undergraduate Honors Theses collection contains papers written by University of Miami undergraduate students from 1989 to the present. University Honors (summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude) are determined by a minimum GPA unique to the school or college from which undergraduate students have studied.
The historical blueprints and the drawings of UM buildings are important components of the University Archives. The items in the collection are identified by building name, architect, location, types of materials, and date. Materials range in date from the earliest days of the University in the 1920s to current day materials.
The U.M. Historical Photograph Collection holds over 500,000 photographs, negatives, and slides that document the University’s growth from the 1920s through the presidency of Henry King Stanford in the 1970s. The collection is especially rich in images showcasing UM sports, the expansion of each campus, student life, and special events such as commencement ceremonies.
