About meThe Special Collections and University Archives Department has locations in both the Daley Library and the Library of the Health Sciences-Chicago.
The Richard J. Daley Special Collections Department houses collections of rare books, manuscripts, and photographs. The rare book collection includes books of permanent, historic, and research interest focusing primarily on the history of Chicago. The manuscript holdings consist of records of individuals and organizations important to the history of Chicago. Images of these individuals, organizations, and Chicago form the core of the photographs and digital images collection.
The Library of Health Sciences-Chicago Special Collections and University Archives Department houses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and major historical materials related to the history of the health sciences. Many of the materials focus on the development of the health sciences in Chicago and the Midwest.
The University Archives is the depository for historical records of the University of Illinois at Chicago. The University Archives also contains selected papers of prominent faculty, alumni, and administrative staff.
