Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library
Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, Research library at University of Virginia, United States.
The Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library holds over 16 million objects including manuscripts, rare books, maps, photographs, and historical recordings.
The library underwent major changes after the 1895 Rotunda fire, which destroyed 80 percent of the original book collection but led to renewed collection efforts.
The institution houses substantial collections related to American literature, featuring works by William Faulkner and extensive materials documenting Virginia regional history.
Researchers can access materials through multiple channels including digital displays, online catalogs, and in-person consultations with specialized librarians.
The library maintains two copies of the Declaration of Independence Dunlap broadside, making it the only institution with multiple versions of this document.
