More Options for Searching Archival Materials
The Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center holds the "crown jewels" of the library collection that are available for inspection and research. In addition to the print materials housed in the center on the sub-plaza level of the building, the Arthur C Pulling Rare Books Collection is selectively showcased in the online exhibits through the Digital Legacies project.
In addition to our own collection riches, the Archives and Special Collections (ASC) and the Digital Library Development Lab have announced the release of the Online Finding Aids system. This system unifies for searching and browsing over 3,300 Encoded Archival Descriptions (EAD). This makes it among the largest collections of finding aids by a single institution in the country, and will significantly enhance the potential for researchers to discover specific materials held deep in our archival collections.
