Installed as a permanent exhibit, Ethan Vazquez's (Tandon '25) exploration of Golana, a sci-fi magazine created by Polytechnic students in the 1960s and 1970s, showcases original artwork and aims to inspire creativity in our Tandon engineers. See Ethan's online exhibit here: Creative Chronicles: Unveiling the Legacy of Golana at Polytechnic. You can watch Poly Archivist Lindsay Anderberg talk about the exhibit on Dibner Library's Instagram page. This exhibit is on display on the 3rd floor of Dibner Library, in the main reading room.

The mission of the Poly Archives is to collect, preserve, and provide access to the records of the former Polytechnic Institute (1854-2014). The archives document the history of the former iterations of the school including: the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, Polytechnic Institute of New York, Polytechnic University, and Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
The Poly Archives’ rare books and special collections provide context to the archival material by providing documentation of the history of science and technology, particularly in Brooklyn, and the development of MetroTech Center.
