Burns Library collects in multiple areas, and has large collections that represent previous areas of collecting concentration. On display is a selection of the types of materials and formats you can find within our holdings and that are available for use in research and teaching. Also recognize that there are many additional items here in Burns Library that don’t fit easily in one collecting area or span several collecting areas.
Much of our collection centers the perspectives and experiences of White men. We work to acknowledge and discuss this bias, and to provide the scaffolding to contextualize how to understand the structures in place today. We also actively pursue adding materials to the collections that represent a broader, more diverse experience.
