Search Special Collections
This page provides users the option to search across the University Libraries’ special collections, digitized, and born-digital content in a single location. The University Libraries uses Blacklight as a common search index for its special collections finding aids and digital repository. We intend to add more digital content and archival content sources as they become available. More information about the services currently indexed through Blacklight may be found below.
