Rare Books and Manuscripts contains numerous books and materials which by virtue of their rarity, value, or physical condition cannot be housed in open stacks. There is also a large collection of incunabula as well as early Americana such as lectures, speeches, and sermons. Included in Rare Books and Manuscripts are a number of valuable donated collections, including the Berenbach Collection of French Literature, 1600-1850, and the recently acquired Omar Pound Library of Islamica and Colonial India.
