Collections by Subject

The depth and uniqueness of the materials housed in Special Collections and University Archives provide vast opportunities for scholarship and support a wide range of disciplines. 

The department is particularly recognized for its expanding and extensive Long Island Collection of maps, manuscripts, pamphlets, newspapers, and ephemera dating from the seventeenth century; the Senator Jacob K. Javits Collection; and the William Butler Yeats Collection, the most extensive collection of the famed Irish poet and author's manuscripts housed outside of Ireland. 

A listing of finding aids organized alphabetically is also available. We are glad to provide guides in alternative formats upon request. Please contact us for assistance.
