Welcome to the Special Collections Department! Our expert staff collect, describe, and make available for research and use archival collections and rare books in support of teaching, study, and individuals’ curiosity. Plan your visit to use these collections in our reading room, discover our exhibitions and galleries, or join us for our events – free and open to all!
To make an appointment to use materials in the reading room, please contact our team.
For faculty members interested in learning more about incorporating a class session into their courses, contact Petra Clark, Instruction Librarian for Special Collections.
The department’s collecting strengths and desired areas of growth are described in the Collection Development policy.
