Special Collections Research Center staff are mostly working remotely as a precaution against COVID-19. We will continue to support the research and instructional needs of the university's students, faculty, and staff as much as possible with limited access to our physical collections. Priority assistance will be given to current Appalachian State University students, faculty, and staff, and there may be delays in reply time for non-App State affiliated researchers. Learn more about our current services here.
Located on the 4th floor of Belk Library and Information Commons, the Special Collections Research Center is home to the W. L. Eury Appalachian Collection, the Stock Car Racing Collection, Rare Books & Manuscripts, and University Archives & Records Management Services.
