Can I check out materials from Archives and Special Collections?
Answer
Because of the unique nature of materials in Archives and Special Collections, materials can only be used in the Rare Book Room and cannot be checked out.
Duplicate copies of some materials in Special Collections can be found in the general library collection and may be available for checkout. Examples include histories of Davidson College and the town of Davidson, such as Mary D. Beaty’s A History of Davidson College and Jan Blodgett and Ralph Levering’s One Town, Many Voices : a History of Davidson, North Carolina. These items can be searched for using the Library Catalog, featured here on E.H. Little Library’s home page.
If you would like to view materials in Archives and Special Collections, please email archives@davidson.edu to set up an appointment. Please email us at least 48 hours before your desired appointment time.
