Help us unlock the Stories of the Past with Creighton University Libraries Archives & Special Collections

Step into a world where history lives, breathes, and tells its tales. At the Creighton Archives & Special Collections, we safeguard the rare and the remarkable—books, manuscripts, papers, images, and artifacts that chronicle not just Creighton’s journey, but the broader tapestry of our community.

These treasures are the keys to understanding our past, and with your support, we can ensure they remain a source for research and discovery for years to come.

Preserve Creighton's Legacy with Your Giving Day Gift

Imagine the stories that can be told from our collections: Creighton’s vibrant student life, our visionary founders, the spiritual heart of St. John’s Church, and the compassionate legacy of St. Joseph’s hospital. Your Giving Day contribution helps us keep these narratives alive and accessible.

Together, We Make History

Thanks to past Giving Day generosity, we've digitized cherished student newspapers and yearbooks. We've preserved iconic pieces like Mary Lucretia Creighton's saddle and the portraits of Creighton’s founding family—Edward, Mary Lucretia, John, and Sarah Emily Creighton.
