The Rare Book Collection brings together materials that are rare, valuable,
or otherwise in need of special handling or protection. Wide-ranging and eclectic
in nature, it has concentrations in eighteenth-century British history and literature,
New World exploration and travel, economic history (from the library of Richard T. Ely),
and science fiction and fantasy (from the library of Clarence John Laughlin).
Fine printing and book design are well represented, most notably in comprehensive
collections of Circle Press, Janus Press, and the work of Bruce Rogers.
