How to Make Donations to Special Collections
Many of the Library's most distinctive and significant collections began with donations from individuals and organizations. The Library adds to its archives and special collections in support of the academic and research programs of the University or that add intrinsic historical value. Our Special Collections area accepts manuscripts, personal papers, photographs, letters and correspondence, art, uniforms, textiles, and organizational records. Items not needed for the 探花楼 Libraries Special Collections are returned to the donor if requested. To inquire about donating to Special Collections and University Archives, see Support the Woman’s Collection, contact Kimberly Johnson or call 940-898-3743.
