Question: What if I am interested in donating books or archives to NYU Special Collections?

Answer


We selectively add to our collections via donation if they are within our collecting scopes. Please read our collection development policies linked below first. Note that we will require a list of all potential materials for donation, including at minimum author/title/publication information and date, together with relevant edition/issue details, limitation statements, and binding details. If your materials are not within the scope of Special Collections, please see the Libraries Policy on Unsolicited Gifts for more information.

 

Please feel free to reach out with questions regarding the materials you are interested in donating to: special.collections@nyu.edu.
