University Library
Our Library at UC Santa Cruz strives to cultivate a welcoming environment where social and cultural differences are understood, respected, and affirmed. We celebrate the spectrum of human experiences and identities.
As a library, we are identifying and eliminating barriers that stand in the way of equity and inclusion. We are also working to better understand our role in the systemic oppression and racism present in our institutions.
As we continue to engage in this effort, we will update this space. Comments or questions can be addressed to edi@library.ucsc.edu.

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
