The Special Collections Department is responsible for keeping individual named collections, as well as rare or fragile books and other material of special value to students and researchers.  These items are held in a closed stack environment which requires the library user to request to view them.  There can be a delay in retrieving a collection or a book for a library user, if staff are engaged in other tasks.

These items do not circulate and the library user must make arrangements to view the material in the Special Collections Reading Room during office hours.

Special Collections follows the Library’s copyright policy when duplicating material for a researcher.

The researcher must give full credit to the S. E. Wimberly Library and Special Collections when citing material in our collections.
