Penrose Library has many different types of materials in addition to books, DVDs, and microforms held in our regular circulating collections.  We also have  broad variety of rare and unique items held in our Special Collections and Archives.   These items include books, newspaper clippings, photographs, posters, DU meeting minutes and historical documents, even hats!

You may come across items that list Special Collections as their location while searching the library’s online catalog or you can search the library’s Special Collections and other unique materials using Digital DU (http://digitaldu.coalliance.org/), the University of Denver’s digital repository.  Digital DU provides a deep, full-text search of many archival collections, including digital access to historical photographs, text, audio, and video.

Special Collections and Archives is located in Aspen Hall during the Academic Commons Building Project.
During this time, collections will be stored off-site.   Please use the online request form to schedule a research appointment and request materials during this time.  For more information you may also email archives-l@du.edu or call 303.871.3428.
