Manuscript Collections
This is not a complete listing of all manuscript collections. Each collection is listed as the process to place the collection information online begins.
Some collections also have online finding aids. A finding aid is an index for the collection. It tells you who created the material, if any material is restricted in any fashion, and how the material is sorted into boxes. Please be aware that finding aids often use a common set of abbreviations for which definitions have been provided.
Use the search feature to find specific keywords or phrases in the available finding aids.
The collections have been sorted into broad categories to aid in browsing. Collections may be listed in more than one category. A list of collections sorted by accession number is also available.
