The Special Collections are available for use by Muhlenberg College students, faculty, staff, and persons with a reasonable need to use the materials. The Special Collections office is located on Level B of Trexler Library, to the left when you come off the elevator. Special Collections materials are non-circulating. Certain exceptions may be made if the condition of the material will allow circulation, and the need for use warrants it. Nothing circulates from the collections via Interlibrary Loan, with the exception of faculty dissertations in the M.C. Collection.
Some materials have microform editions or circulating copies.
Patrons will be referred to these first. To use Special Collections materials, the patron must come to the office and fill out a Special Collections Call Slip. Copies of the Call Slip are also available at the Reference Desk. All materials must be used in the Special Collections office, and must be handled with great care. Only pencils and loose leaf paper will be allowed at the study desk.
