Special Collections is far richer in its collections breadth and depth because of monetary support as well as gifts of books, papers and other materials throughout the years. Donors provide collections that are vital resources for students and researchers.
Additionally, endowments and other monetary gifts significantly increase the ability of Special Collections to collect, process, and make our materials accessible for research, study and exhibition.
