Search or browse our finding aids for manuscript and archival materials housed in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Special Collections, including the Chattanooga History Collections.

Finding aids are detailed inventories of collections which provide information about the creation, historical context, and contents of primary source materials. Researchers use finding aids to determine which archival collections are useful for their research. For help conducting research with finding aids and requesting materials, consult our research guide.

Special Collections encourages researchers who wish to access physical holdings to Schedule a Visit. Researchers may schedule an in-person or virtual visit. For in-depth research that requires consultation of multiple resources, visitors should plan to access physical holdings in-person or Request Digitization. Special Collections advises researchers with general questions to Ask an Archivist.
