Rare Books and Manuscripts
Rare Books and Manuscripts are small collections of materials unrelated to the Appalachian Collection, the University Archives, and the Stock Car Racing Collection. Each group of materials is defined by a coherent organizing theme, although several are related to British Studies. Collection descriptions, linked below, clarify distinctions of content as well as the richness and uniqueness of the materials.
