About

The purpose of the Special Collections & University Archives unit of D. Hiden Ramsey Library is to preserve those materials whose uniqueness, rarity or cost would make replacement difficult, impossible or financially prohibitive. Toward this end, the unit collects and provides restricted and environmentally safe storage for several categories of information including manuscripts, oral histories, photographs, rare books and assorted other formats. Many of the materials held by Special Collections came from the Southern Highlands Research Center that operated at UNCA from 1977 until 1995. Special Collections gratefully acknowledges the rich acquisitions of the Center and the comprehensive processing work completed by the Center directors and staff.
