Tracing its roots back to one of the earliest Rare Book Rooms in the United States, these collections are the primary basis of research for many scholars, both at the University of Michigan and from around the world. Pertinent reference books as well as a complete set of The National Union Catalog, Pre-1956 Imprints are also available for convenient referral. A staff member will assist patrons in the use of the catalogs, help identify materials for research, bring requested items to patrons, take requests for photocopying or filming, provide general assistance in the research process, and answer questions about the collections and their use.
Classes are welcome.
