YES! Special Collections & University Archives have our materials on two platforms: UTRGV's Digital Collections and UTRGV's ScholarWorks Institutional Repository. Resources on these platforms can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection, and are keyword searchable.
The Library does not own the copyright in much of the material in its collection and is therefore unable to grant copyright permission to publish those items. It is the researcher's responsibility to determine copyright and other possible restrictions on reuse (e.g. publicity, privacy, moral rights) and to obtain proper permission when publishing or distributing materials found in these collections.

The UTRGV Digital Collections help fulfill UTRGV's educational mission. Materials found in these collections are either in the public domain, are made available by permission, or are permitted by an exception such as fair use. Although these materials are publicly accessible, some restrictions on further use may still apply. Permitted uses are limited to research, educational, and scholarly purposes.
If you have any information about an item you've seen in our digital collections, or if you are the copyright owner and believe your work is not properly attributed or is used without proper authorization, please let us know. Send your inquiries to archives@utrgv.edu including your contact information and a link the relevant content.
The University Library is currently not accepting books, materials, or collections to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
