Special Collections are made up of books, and are understood to be distinct from the archival collections of the College. Most of these books are searchable in the library catalog, but access to the majority of these materials requires that a library staff member retrieves the title or that the item may need to be be viewed in the Reading Room depending on which collection it belongs to. These materials cannot be removed from the building.
If you are interested in viewing these materials, please visit the Reference Desk on the first floor of the Stevenson Library, contact the Archivist at tieger@bard.edu, or fill out a Special Collections Request Form. The following tabs contain a brief description of book collections with access specifications.
