The University Archives was established in 2004 in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the institution. According to Robert Wolk, the Cheng Library's Archivist and Special Collections Librarian at that time, an archive "is vital to any institution that desires to preserve its traditions and heritage as a way of developing a distinct identity. William Paterson University has a long and proud history in its community and in the state of New Jersey. The Archive will certainly facilitate access to these varied historical materials."
