Du Bois Library. SCUA also coordinates the traveling exhibit on the life and legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois.

To complement its on-line exhibits, SCUA offers a number of galleries of selected images drawn from collections under its care. Graphic collections are cross-listed in the Department's on-line catalog, UMarmot.
