Finding Materials

Women's materials represent a substantial proportion of the Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library's over 11 million manuscript items and 200,000 volumes of rare books. Collecting in this area is under the auspices of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture. There are a number of tools to use to search for pertinent materials.

• Catalog
  • Advanced Search Option: To limit your search to materials in Special Collections, select the "Advanced Search" page of the catalog, click the drop down box under the Location heading on the right side of the page, and choose "Special Collections" from the list.
