Finding Information

There are a number of ways to find Special Collections materials.

Library Catalog
The Atkins Library Catalog is the first place to check for information on Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Local Documents.
Advanced Search Option: to limit searches to Special Collections materials, use the advanced search option and limit the Location to "Special Collections."

Collection Inventories and Finding Aids
Detailed inventories for our Manuscripts Collections are available online (both linked to the library catalog record and searchable on our website). These inventories are descriptive tools which serve as the primary point of access to archival collections. A description of the different parts of an inventory is available as a PDF example.

University Archives Holdings
This alphabetical list details the records held by the University Archives. The list is organized by office or department name, with subcategories listed below.

Oral History
