University Archives Temporary Closure Notice

The BYU–Hawaii Archives will remain closed to in-person visits during the months of August and September 2025 as we relocate all materials to our new location on the second floor of the JFS Library. During these months, access to archival collections will be limited to already-digitized materials; please email the Archives team at archives@byuh.edu with any urgent materials requests. 

We hope resume normal access and research services in October 2025.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as our library improves our facilities to better serve our campus community.
