Building community through shared history.
What is KU History?
A program originally born out of the KU Memorial Union, KU History transitioned to a new home under KU Libraries as an extension of University Archives at Kenneth Spencer Research Library in summer 2026. The program collects and shares the stories and experiences of the Jayhawk community.
