UCSB Special Collections

Welcome

The Department of Special Collections acquires, preserves, and makes accessible rare, valuable, or unique materials which support UCSB students, faculty, and research programs, as well as the scholarly community. The department's holdings are non-circulating but are available for research in the reading room during posted hours.

Special Collections acquires materials by gift, transfer, and purchase, in accordance with general library procedures.

PLEASE NOTE: We have new hours beginning Fall 2009.
