The Wilson Library has many "special collections," including manuscripts and archival materials. At UNC, the special collections libraries include the following:

• Manuscripts Department (which houses the Southern Historical Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, and University Archives)
• North Carolina Collection (including the North Carolina Gallery, Photographic Archives, and Photographic Services)
• Rare Book Collection
• Special Collections Conservation Lab.

The libraries have tutorials and guides to help you use these materials: the Manuscripts Research Tutorial and the guide to Finding Primary Source Materials. You can also ask a librarian for help at any time!
