Visit the Archives

The Humber Archives preserves the history and heritage of the institution by collecting and making available our historical materials.

Many of our materials are online, but you can come in person and browse thousands of photographs, reports, newspapers and other rare historical materials. We also have rotating exhibits in the space.

The Archives is physically located on the 4th floor of the LRC in the Library (LRC 4068) at the North Campus and is open to the public.

Check the Library’s home page for updated hours or email the Archives at archives@humber.ca for an appointment.
