The Department of Archives & Special Collections of the William F. Maag, Jr. Library of Youngstown State University serves two distinct functions.

Archives serve as the official and final repository for the historical records of Youngstown State University (previously known as Youngstown College) from its establishment in 1908 to the present time.

The Special Collections serve as an archival repository for historical materials which are neither official university records nor faculty papers, but which relate to the history of the geographical region of which YSU is a part. This includes the city of Youngstown, the Mahoning County and the Mahoning Valley.
