Support for Special Collections

The resources which the University devotes to the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library are continually supplemented by gifts and grants. Most of the library's holdings have been received as gifts or acquired with support from friends of the library. Many of the projects undertaken to locate previously uncollected materials and to increase access to existing holdings depend on the availability of outside funding or income from endowments. The Director of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library and other staff members welcome inquiries from individuals or organizations interested in adding to the library's holdings or supporting its work in other ways.
