Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections

Housed on the lowest level of Kroch Library, the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections is open for research Monday-Friday and some Saturdays during the fall 2012 semester. Please consult their web site for specific hours. This is Cornell's largest collection of archival and rare book materials. While books are listed in the library catalog, archival collections are described at the collection (rather than at the item) level. Notable collections are described here.

You may also be interested in the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation & Archives and its archival collections.

The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections recently hosted an exhibition on early photography: Dawn's Early Light.
