About

Our mission is to house, preserve, and provide access to historical items and collections, particularly those that relate to the University, Chattanooga, the state of Tennessee, and the South. Many of our collections contain unique, primary resource materials unavailable elsewhere.

The Special Collections hold three main collections:

Due  to  their  rare, fragile, and  special  nature,  these  items  may  not  be  checked  out  but  can  be  viewed  and  used  in  the  Special  Collections  Reading  Room.  Appointments  are  recommended.  Please see our Policies page for more information.
