The origins of this collection are unclear. Many of the objects were gifts to MU Libraries. Another group of materials came from the Antiquarian Library of Mark A. Slotkin and the Biblical Library of Stanley A. Slotkin.
The collection contains letters and early printed book leaves excised from their original bindings. Holdings primarily span the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries.
The collection is not catalogued. The materials are available to all researchers during regular service hours. For more information about the use of the print collections, see Book Use Policies.
