Collecting and Access Policies

The Emory University Archives supports the teaching and research mission of Emory University. University Archives collections are available to all researchers in the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library and provide primary research material for undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, staff, and administrators, as well as genealogists, scholars, and others interested in learning more about Emory’s history and its impact on American social, cultural, and intellectual life.

Rare Books

Holding several hundred thousand volumes of books and serials dating from the 13th century to the present, with formats ranging from scrolls to miniature books, our print collection is a significant resource for the study of the history of Western print culture.

Literary and Poetry Collections

The Rose Library is home to a globally significant collection of material related to modern and contemporary poetry and literature. These collections, which highlight the entire enterprise of literary production, include the papers of writers, poets, and critics, the records of publishers and presses, and rare books and literary manuscripts. Our expansive collections offer exceptional strengths in Irish literature, modern poetry, African American writers, Georgia and Southern writers, counterculture, and the Beats.

Emory Web Archives

Web archives include websites produced by Emory's administrative offices, schools, departments, institutes, centers, and programs, as well as its faculty, student, and alumni organizations. With this web archiving initiative, the Emory University Archives seeks to expand on preexisting holdings as well as document previously underrepresented areas and constituencies.

Teaching with MARBL

MARBL staff seek to partner with faculty to transform teaching and research at Emory. One of MARBL's most important goals is to incorporate Emory's rich research collections into the undergraduate and graduate experience.
