Overview
The Library's Historical and Special Collections Department serves as the University of Maryland archives documenting the history of the health sciences and social work professional schools on the Baltimore campus. Genealogical and other historical information about the University's medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing, and social work schools is available. Among other items, the collection includes such sources as college catalogs, yearbooks, and selected primary documents such as matriculation ledgers and administrative minutes dating back to the University of Maryland's nineteenth-century origin. The Library's rare book collection of over 8,000 volumes also resides in this department, including individual historical collections of primarily pre-1945 imprints, featuring significant works in the health sciences fields and social work.
