Catalog

A resource for searching across special collections at the University of Maryland Libraries, especially individual books and journal titles. Please bear in mind, however, that not all special collections holdings are represented in the online catalog. It is still a good idea to check ArchivesUM for information on archival and manuscript collections (unprocessed collections are not represented in the online catalog), or to check individual unit web pages.
