Special Collections at the Marriott Library collects rare and unique materials relevant to regional people, places, and topics. Materials in Special Collections do not leave the Reading Room (4th floor, across from the Book Arts studio) but can be viewed by making an appointment or requesting digitization of individual items. Some materials have been digitized and are available in the Marriott Library Digital Library. The digital collections are a small subset of what is available in the millions of manuscript, photograph, moving image, print, and sound collections. 

You can search for guides to Special Collections the library catalog or through ArchivesWest (make sure to limit your search to University of Utah Special Collections by using the facets on the left hand side of the search results). 

If you need assistance, feel free to contact me or Rachel Ernst, Special Collections Reference Librarian. Amy Brunvand has also created an excellent guide to books, government sources, organizations, and journals in the general collection. 

This tab is currently being updated with more materials.
