Archival Collections
Online Index
The SLAC Archives are a centralized collection of inactive official records of SLAC and personal papers of physicists and staff. Access to material deposited in the SLAC Archives is granted as follows:
- Institutional records over 30 years old: open for research
- Institutional records 30 years old or less: restricted to use by creating office only
- Personal papers: subject to terms established at time of deposit
All deposits to the Archives have at least a minimal record which includes the name of the creating office or person, inclusive dates, volume of records, and a brief description of the contents. The Archives is completing more extensive indexing of the collection as time and resources permit.
