Introduction: Hill Memorial Library houses Special Collections. Constructed in 1925 as the main library for the campus, it stands just west of Troy H. Middleton Library on the historic old quadrangle at the heart of the LSU campus. Renovations to Hill Memorial Library from 1983 to 1985 included installation of a security system, environmental controls, and fire detection and suppression systems to ensure the preservation of irreplaceable rare books and manuscripts. In addition to a spacious reading room, the building provides a lecture hall and exhibition galleries.
