The Cal Poly Humboldt Authors Hall, located on the 2nd floor outside of the Library Fishbowl, is a permanent, physical collection of books, articles, CDs,  DVDs, and more, recognizing Humboldt faculty, staff, students, and alumni for their scholarship and creative work. The annual Authors Celebration reflects our belief in intellectual growth through scholarship, creative activities, and research, which is articulated in Cal Poly Humboldt’s values.

Cal Poly Humboldt faculty, staff, students, and alumni can also submit their works to the Virtual Authors Hall. Your information will be added to our growing database of over 24,000 entries that allows users to search by author, year, or keyword. If you have published while at Humboldt and are not on the list, please fill out and submit the form. We want to add you! Eligible works include published articles, books, book chapters, conference proceedings, special issues of journals, substantive encyclopedia entries, poetry, musical compositions, audio recordings, film/video recordings, theses, projects, posters, art exhibition catalogs, and more. If you are on the list but need correction, please email us at hsuauthors@humboldt.edu with updates.

Each spring, we celebrate works published during the previous year in the Authors Hall on the Library's 2nd floor. Our 10th Annual Celebration was on February 14, 2024.  We had guest speakers and acknowledgements sprinkled with trivia and prizes. There were cakes and beverages followed by open mic and socializing and a fun time was had by all. Watch this site for photos and mark your calendar to join us February 14, 2025, for our 11th Annual Celebration!

Thank you to all the authors who have submitted their work. Please keep them coming!
