Support USU Libraries

Giving Areas

General Library Fund

The University Libraries enable student inquiry and discovery by providing access to collections, technology, and spaces that support both quiet study and collaborative engagement. Your donation will help strengthen our ability to continue to build collections, services, and spaces that support student success.

Special Collections and Archives

The Merrill-Cazier Library’s Special Collections & Archives preserves and makes accessible unique and valuable collections with strengths in local and regional history, folklore and the environment of the western United States, the outdoor products industry, and the history of Utah State University. Your gift will help us continue to document our shared history and make it available in person and/or online to generations of future Aggies.

Outdoor Recreation Archive

The Outdoor Recreation Archive documents the history of the people, products, and brands of the outdoor industry through books, catalogs, magazines, photographs, posters, and documents. We make these materials widely accessible to the public, including Outdoor Product Design and Development (OPDD) students, academics, enthusiasts, industry professionals, and others with interest in the history of outdoor gear.

Student Internships

We offer several paid assistantships that develop student research and professional skills, preparing them for career readiness in a variety of disciplines ranging from data management to archival processing.
