The largest concentration of basic sources for the history of the University is the UC Archives reference collection, which includes the Catalog of classes, Blue and Gold yearbook, student directories, Centennial Record, The Chronicle of the University of California, among other titles.
OskiCat is the UC Berkeley library catalog, which lists holdings of most campus libraries.
If the OskiCat record for an item lists "UC Archives reference" as the location, then you may use the material on-site during
Bancroft open hours. You will have to check your bags and coats at the Bancroft security desk but you will not have to register. Tell the Bancroft staff that you are here to use materials in the reference collection.
You may take photos of library materials with a digital camera or cellphone.
If the Oskicat record lists another library location, click on the name of the library for more information, or go to the
Library hours page..
