The Special Collections of Geisel Library are located on the Upper Level. All materials housed in Special Collections can be located in the
library catalog:
- Rare Book Collection - Housed in the Creaghe Room, this collection includes some of the library's oldest materials.
Included in this collection is a miniature edition of An Introduction to the Devout Life by Saint Francis DeSalles, printed in 1675, and a Lutheran Bible printed in 1772.
- New England Collection - Housed in the Poisson Room, this collection is a body of approximately 2,000 volumes of town histories in New England.

taken in handling each item. We request your cooperation in preserving
this irreplaceable material by observing the following regulations:

- Materials housed in Special Collections do not circulate and must be used in designated locations.
- The shelves are closed to browsing.
- Only pencils and note paper may be used while working with materials.
- Only one book may be reviewed at a time.
- White gloves provided by the Library must be worn while working with the collection.
- Requests for photocopies of material will be considered when such duplication can be done without injury to the materials
and in accordance with copyright restrictions. When allowed, single copies will be provided for the researcher's reference use only.
Supplying a photocopy does not represent authorization to publish.
- All photocopying is done by staff at a charge of 25 cents per page.
