The SJ McKee Archives is the principal repository for archival records related to the history and operations of Brandon University/Brandon College.  The Archives also collects records of selected Brandon University/Brandon College faculty, staff and alumni, as well as collections that support the research and teaching programs of BU.

The SJ McKee Archives is also the principal repository for records related to Manitoba Pool Elevators.  Additionally, the Archives holds a wide-ranging collection of records documenting the history of the City of Brandon and southwestern Manitoba.

Consistent with its general mandate, the SJ McKee Archives also holds special collections of published materials.  Areas of current strength include the George Thorman collection of public school textbooks, the Robert Dudley Howland collection of Fabian Society publications, and the former library of Manitoba Pool Elevators.

Brandon University’s art collection is also managed by the McKee Archives.
