Rare Book and Special Collections Division

The Rare Book and Special Collections Division is a specialized part of libraries that preserves and showcases unique items, such as rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and historical documents. These materials are often of significant cultural, historical, or artistic value and may be fragile or hard to find. The division works to protect these treasures and makes them accessible for research, education, and public enjoyment. It often includes exhibitions, catalogs, and special programs to highlight the importance of these collections and engage the community in appreciating their significance.
