How about Omeka? Need to consider the library standards because eventually you will have to make your archival collection searchable. - Kelly

As an archivist, this is still a very broad response.
Are you looking to manage archival collections (accessioning, arrangement and description, producing finding aids, etc.)? If so, Archivists Toolkit or Archon may work for you. I'm not sure what you mean by university historical information, perhaps ready-reference type guides?
There are a plethora of web options for this. Are you looking to manage digital assets? Then a digital repository, such as Fedora or Dspace is in order.
Although it's a bit out of date at this point, you may want to look at Lisa Spiro's 2009 report, "Archival Management Software" < http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/spiro/>. Also, check out Carol Bean's blog, BeanWorks. She has a post about comparing digital asset managers < http://beanworks.clbean.com/2010/05/creating-a-comparison-matrix/> (and also has useful related links).
Best,
Nathan
