This unique collection is not only highly regarded and used extensively by the University of Maryland community but also has built a reputation that attracts scholars and researchers from across the nation and around the world. As myriad projects have evolved, the needs for service and collection enhancements have increased exponentially. With a donation to the Terp for Life fund, you can help to preserve the irreplaceable records of the Libraries’ University Archives and help us keep the vision alive!

Libraries have traditionally been viewed as buildings full of books. Contemporary Academic Research Libraries are so much more. While our mission will always require us to be the keeper of the historical record, Libraries must continually evaluate and adjust collections and spaces to meet user needs and technologies that have yet to be imagined. The Libraries Future Fund will enable us to embrace cutting-edge technologies and world-class resources such as digital collections and new computer work stations to support our great University as we excel into the 21st century and beyond.

From the University Archives to rare and historical manuscripts, the Libraries' Special Collections are one of the premier resources to study all aspects of Maryland and beyond. These unique collections are not only highly regarded and used extensively by the University of Maryland community, but have earned a reputation that attracts scholars and researchers from across the nation and around the world. Your donation helps Special Collections continue to provide access to these important materials, arrange for critical preservation projects, and build the collections in meaningful ways.
