Robert W. Woodruff Library, Atlanta University Center, University research library in Atlanta, United States.

The Robert W. Woodruff Library is a shared library building constructed in 1982 for the Atlanta University Center, serving its three member institutions: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College and Spelman College. It holds over a million items, among them roughly 383,000 print volumes, 867,000 microforms, 314,000 government documents and nearly 7,500 cubic feet of archival material.

The building opened in 1982 and was named after a former Coca-Cola executive who significantly supported the project's funding. After two decades, it received a major renovation that modernized the infrastructure for the coming years.

The Archives Research Center displays collections focused on African American history and gives visitors direct access to important documents about the civil rights movement. The holdings allow you to follow the stories of people who shaped American society.

The building provides research consultations, shuttle services between the four campuses, and private study rooms for focused work. Access to digital collections is supported through partnerships with major library networks and enables remote research from anywhere.

The institution received a national award for excellence in academic libraries in 2016 as the first Black college and university library to do so. This recognition highlighted the quality of its collections and services that matter to students and researchers across the country.
