We welcome students to visit our website to stay informed on all of our programs and events. We invite all Boston University students to get involved, and contact us with questions or comments.

Student Research

The Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center is an excellent resource for students who want to make their own discoveries, writing papers or designing projects. Researchers from around the world consult these archives regularly; and hundreds of books, dissertations, articles and papers, and scores of documentary films are based on materials drawn from our collections.

One of the goals of the new Martin Luther King, Jr. finding aid is to create a scholarly resource that makes the catalogue of the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center’s Martin Luther King, Jr. collection available and searchable. When the search engine is completed, you will be able to search the listing for the Martin Luther King Jr. Collection online. At this time, a printed finding aid is available to researchers here at the Gotlieb Center. Please visit our Information for Researchers page to begin your research journey.
