Our Distinctive Collections is housed on the second floor of The A. Frank Smith, Jr. Library, and students, faculty, staff, alumni and the general public are encouraged to visit and utilize the resources. Although the materials may not be checked out, they are available for research and learning opportunities. We have a museum-like collection, but unlike a traditional museum we encourage users to engage with our materials. You can hold a rare book, read a historic manuscript or examine a piece of Texas history.
In Distinctive Collections at Southwestern University, we create physical and virtual spaces to experience the history of Southwestern University and Texas as well as the heritage of the printed and written word. We aim to use these spaces and our collections to create meaningful experiences for anyone, regardless of purpose.
By making a gift to Distinctive Collections, you are allowing our collection to continue t ogrow and Thrive.
