Manuscripts & Archives

Primary Link:

Yale University has a long and distinguished history of collecting and preserving primary resources and making them available for teaching and research. Many of these materials were first collected by faculty and other members of the Yale community to support their own research activities and eventually placed in the library for long-term preservation and wider availability. The library maintained some of these collections, such as the Edward House Collection and the Crawford Theater Collection, as separate entities with their own curators for many years.

The Yale Library digital repository contains reproductions of photographs, posters, drawings, text documents, and other materials from our holdings. These reproductions comprise only a small percentage of the department’s materials and should be seen as a starting point for research.
