Special Collections

The Art Library gift collections--books and other materials acquired by the library through the generous donations of benefactors--include the Dr. George Levitine Collection, the Dr. Josephine Withers Collection, the Anthony Geber Collection, the Dr. Mark Sandler Collection, and the Dr. Penny Morrill Collection.

The Vertical Files include a non-circulating collection of brochures, announcements, and smaller exhibition catalogs on art institutions, art-related subjects, and individuals in the arts. These files are particularly useful for finding information on local and contemporary artists, including the faculty of the University of Maryland Art Department.

The microfilm and microfiche collection includes older runs of periodicals, exhibition catalogs, museum collections, and photographic archives. For descriptions and call numbers of individual titles, consult Major Microform Collections in Art, an Art Library guide to information resources.
