Special Collections

 Important Information About Special Collections During COVID-19

• The Special Collections reading room is closed. Special Collections staff are working remotely and in-person services are closed. All other services will be limited and delayed. Smith course support is our primary responsibility at this time.
• Minimal reference services will be managed remotely by staff. Reference inquiries that require materials investigation will be held in order of when they were received and responded to once the campus is opened.
• As Special Collections prepares to move into the Neilson Library, some services will be temporarily suspended. On April 5, 2021, digitization service for anyone outside the Smith community will be paused. Special Collections is still accepting orders from Smith students and faculty that support teaching and learning.
• Please submit all questions and requests to specialcollections@smith.edu.
