CUNY Academic Works & Other Repositories

A repository is a collection of documents made available to the public.  It may include scholarly and creative work, institutional documents, or other materials.  Colleges, universities, and other educational institutions host institutional repositories collecting the work of those affiliated with them.

Like many other colleges and universities, CUNY has its own institutional repository, Academic Works!

See below for some basic information about CUNY Academic Works, or browse the tabs to the left of this page for advice about depositing your work in repositories.

CUNY Academic Works is CUNY's institutional repository. 

If you are a CUNY author, it gives you a place to share your work publicly and to consolidate it in one place.

It also provides a way to browse CUNY scholarship and see the interesting work we do here!
