The Mortimer
Rare Book Room houses the college's rare books and literary manuscripts.
Over decades of acquisition, curators have developed a broad, general collection
of books that includes works from all periods (from medieval manuscripts
to contemporary artists' books) and in all subject areas (from ancient history
to zoology). Among the literary manuscripts are important collections of
the papers of Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, and others. Students are encouraged
to take advantage of this valuable resource and are given individual assistance
on the use of rare materials in their research papers. Faculty may schedule
class meetings in the rare book room for presentations on selected subjects.
