Library Funding Priorities

Every gift to the University Library is a welcomed gift. Follow your own passion for giving, or consider these funding priorities:

Flexible, unrestricted funds have never been more important. Opportunities arise: Discretionary funds enable the University Librarian to respond quickly and decisively to meet the ever-changing needs of the vast University Library system.
Long known for its collections of antebellum plantation, Civil War, and Reconstruction South materials, the Southern Historical Collection continues to acquire 18th- and 19th-century manuscripts along with substantial collections of 20th-century materials. Funds to acquire, catalog and preserve these collections are vital.
Unrestricted endowment. With income produced by a donor’s long-term investment in the Library’s future, University Librarians can plan for and deliver new collections, initiatives, and services.
