How to find primary sources in Silver Special Collections (Billings Library)

If your research concerns Vermont or UVM, consult the Wilbur Collection in Silver Special Collections, which includes hundreds of thousands of books, pamphlets, photographs, maps, manuscripts, Vermont legislative records, and state agency documents.

 

Silver Special Collections also houses the rare books collection and maintains a reference file of news articles and pamphlets on issues pertaining to Vermont. Faculty and staff also can help you access the University Archives, which houses administrative files, faculty lecture notes, student diaries, and assorted other UVM-related materials from the 1790s to the present.
