The Special Collections Department of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery
University of Maryland, Baltimore County includes those materials that due to
rarity, condition, form, or source are best handled separately from the General
Collection. The collections of rare books, photographs, artifacts, manuscripts
and archives housed in this department are available for research use by
faculty, students and visiting scholars. All materials are non-circulating and
the stacks are closed. Access to materials is provided by the online
Library Catalog (
catalogusmai),
several online databases and a variety of print and online finding aids. A knowledgeable staff
is available to assist researchers and to retrieve materials for study. Copying services are available
when it will not harm the material and is permitted by federal copyright law.
Eating, drinking and the use of pens are all prohibited in the reading room.
Users of materials must register daily upon entering Special Collections.
