Special Collections

https://lib.lsu.edu/special#specialcollections

In 1985, the LSU Libraries organized the Special Collections division to administer the rare books, manuscripts, and other special research collections already held by the libraries. The division's principal mission is to preserve these collections, add to them, and make them available for use. Special Collections offers resources for original research in many fields, ranging from the humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences, agriculture, aquaculture, the fine arts, and design.

Hill Memorial Library is located on the LSU Quad at 95 Fieldhouse Dr., Baton Rouge, 70803. The front entrance to the library faces the quad and is ADA accessible. Visitor parking is required on weekdays for those without an LSU parking tag. Learn more about visitor parking on campus.

Keep up to date with LSU Libraries Special Collections by signing up for the Libraries’ newsletter, reading the blog, or following us on social media.
