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.
Digitization services are prioritizing requests from Smith students and faculty for teaching. Please expect delays.
Please submit all questions and requests to specialcollections@smith.edu.

During the construction and renovation of Neilson Library, Special Collections is located on the 2nd floor of Young Library.
