The Special Collections Department at Hillman Library owns many items that may interest medievalists and students of the Renaissance. Relevant holdings consist primarily of manuscript facsimiles and early printed books and cover a wide range of disciplines, including vernacular literature, classics, history, religion, philosophy, and history of art.
Classes are also welcome.
In the recent past, graduate and undergraduate classes in art history, English literature, and French civilization have visited the department. The staff of Special Collections is pleased to conduct presentations for classes on holdings of interest. An instructor wishing to arrange a class visit is asked to contact the department at least two weeks in advance.
