The University at Buffalo, University Archives collects and preserves records documenting the university’s history, as well as the broader Buffalo-Niagara region and Western New York community. In addition to official university records, the Archives holds the personal papers of faculty, alumni, and administrators, as well as materials from local activists, artists, educators, politicians, and organizations.

Holdings span a wide range of formats, including manuscripts, photographs, oral histories, audiovisual media, scrapbooks, and born-digital materials. 

This exhibition presents the poignant and powerful voices of the Love Canal community—residents of Niagara Falls, NY whose lives were forever changed by one of the most infamous environmental disasters in American history.
