About Special Collections

Special Collections includes four units: The Poetry Collection, University Archives, Rare Books and The Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection. Housed separately from the Libraries’ regular collections, the rich literary and historical materials found in these collections make them invaluable to researchers and a distinguished part of the university.
