Welcome to LSU Libraries Special Collections: Who We Are and What We Do

Want to see photos of LSU's early days, read letters written by a Civil War soldier or a first edition of Charles Dickens, research your hometown newspaper from 100 years ago, or conduct original research in topics ranging from medieval studies to coastal preservation? You can do all of these things and more in the LSU Libraries' Special Collections! Housed in historic Hill Memorial Library, the LSU Libraries' Special Collections was organized in 1985 to administer the rare books, manuscripts, and other special research collections held by the libraries. The division's principal mission is to preserve these collections, add to them, and make them available for use. Special Collections offers resources for original research in many fields, ranging from the humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences, agriculture, aquaculture, the fine arts, and design. Take a peek behind the scenes and learn more about our collections and what we offer. The library is open to LSU students, faculty, and staff, as well as the general public.
