About the collections



The OCLC Archives is a repository of noncurrent materials relating to the history of OCLC and its products and services, which are maintained and preserved because they possess information of permanent, historical value. A finding aid, located on the Library web site, provides the basic structure of the collection. All items are available through the Library catalog.
All physical archive materials are stored in the Library. Archive materials do not circulate without the permission of the Director. Their consultation is limited to in-house use only.
This online collection consists primarily of OCLC publications, both internal and publicly available, as well as other materials related to OCLC and its history.
