Research & Tech Workshop: Enhancing your Research with Special Collections

Washington University Libraries' Special Collections are valuable resources for primary and rare secondary source materials. In this session, students will learn how to find and access these materials as well as get an overview of Special Collections.

Rare Book Collections

Welcome to the Research Guide for Rare Books! The largest of the University's rare book collections, now numbering over 60,000 printed pieces, is administered within the Department of Special Collections. Additional collections of rare materials are housed in the Art and Architecture, Music, East Asian, School of Medicine, and School of Law libraries.
