Welcome to the Web site for the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections in the Hesburgh Library, University of Notre Dame. This site is designed to facilitate access to descriptions of our collection holdings and the services we offer. If you need more information about any of our collections or services, just click on "Ask a Librarian" at left or "Contact Us" in the footer below.

In order to make your visit to our collections as positive and productive as possible, we encourage you to phone ahead or send an e-mail in advance of your visit, so we can have your materials ready when you arrive. While we are able to retrieve most items while patrons wait, some requests may take up to 48 hours (2 business days) to fill.
