Exploring Our Collections

Moffett Library Special Collections department acquires and preserves rare books, manuscripts, photographs, archival records, and artifacts related to various collections. Our collections serve the needs of students, faculty, staff, and visiting researchers. Items from each of the collections are cataloged and discoverable in the library's online catalog. Researchers may also search within the finding aid for each collection (located at the bottom of a collection's page). These aids will provide historical background related to each collection's creator and donor history. Some finding aids provide more of a detailed inventory listing than box listing usually found in an archival finding aid.
