Lavery Library’s Archives & Special Collections seek to collect, preserve, and provide access to the rare and unique materials housed in the collection and promote the use of these materials by the St. John Fisher University community, scholars, and the public. We strive to support the Fisher curriculum and student experience, research and scholarship, and amplify untold stories from our collections.

Topics held within Special Collections include social conflict and discovery; Rochester Radio History; and community and programmatic affiliates.

Please note: Archives & Special Collections digital materials are now found on the St. John Fisher University portal on JSTOR. Digital objects from Special Collections will no longer be hosted on Fisher Digital Publications here after December 31, 2026; please update any bookmarked links to reflect digital materials on the JSTOR platform.
