EN 103: Special Collections Resources

Welcome!

Welcome! In this guide, we'll highlight some of the historical materials in The University of Alabama Libraries' Special Collections that could be of interest to EN 103 instructors and students.

Please contact Alex Boucher (Reference and Instruction Librarian, Special Collections) for questions about materials, accessing sources/collections, and arranging class visits to the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library. 

See below for more information on our instruction program and a PDF list of the EN 103 collections included in this guide. 

 

General Access Note

Whenever possible, we have included a link to items in our Digital Collections. The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections is committed to digitizing our materials and making them freely available online, but some of our collections are only available for use in the Hoole Library Reading Room. If a collection has not been digitized, we have linked to its finding aid. Our finding aids can be located via the Archival Collections search engine.

(A finding aid includes descriptive information about an archival collection. It is meant to give the researcher a better understanding of the scope of a collection and its contents.) 

Our published materials (books, pamphlets, maps, recordings, etc.) can be found via Scout and/or the Libraries Catalog.
