Donating Materials |

Acquisition of many of the rare books and other Special
Collections items is made possible through the generous contributions
of the Friends
of the Library and other donors. Collections acquired from alumni
and faculty are normally received as donations, and are documented by
a Deed of Gift form. If you have materials you would like to donate or
have any questions, please contact us at (619) 594-6791 or
