The University of Queensland Archives

Temporary changes to UQ Archives services

While building works are underway, some UQ Archives services have temporarily changed.

Enquiries: We aim to respond to enquiries within 5 working days.
Viewing archival materials: You can view materials in the Fryer Library Reading Room by appointment. Please allow up to 5 working days for requested items to be available.
Donating materials: We are deferring most new donations and transfers of records and archival materials. Email the University Archivist at archives@uq.edu.au for more information.

These arrangements are expected to remain in place until late 2027.

Purpose
