Special Collections are located on the third floor of the Library. Items include those which are very old, difficult or impossible to replace, limited and first editions, signed copies, unique manuscript materials, books by Dubuque authors, and Loras faculty publications. Special Collections also includes folios by Shakespeare and incunabula (books published before 1501). Most of the items in this room are in the online catalog.

The room is open only by appointment. Contact: Heidi Pettitt, (563) 588-7873 heidi.pettitt@loras.edu or Kristen Smith, (563) 588-7042 kristen.smith@loras.edu
