Using Special Collections
This LibGuide utilizes resources from Wilson Library Special Collections and the Music Library. Because of this, some of the materials will be available to check out through the library or to stream online, while other items will be available by request only.
Finding Special Collections in the catalog
When finding a special collection in the catalog, the title of the collection will be listed with “archival and manuscript material”. Clicking on the resource will provide an overview of the collection, but the most helpful tool is the finding aid. Clicking on “finding aid” opens a different page that gives more detailed information about that particular collection and its contents. Some finding aids include digitized materials, while others require a scheduled visit.
Why do I have to request items from Special Collections?
Unlike a library, an archive contains primary source materials that are unique and often fragile. Requesting material from a special collection may involve scheduling an appointment to look at the material in person, or receiving a copy.
