This guide provides information on resources at ZSR Library for students in Dr. Franziska Tsufim's WRI 110 and 111 classes.
The Special Collections and Archives at Z. Smith Reynolds Library offers a wealth of resources for the undergraduate and graduate student at Wake Forest. Our diverse collections include books, manuscripts, archival records, photographs, prints and posters, music scores, maps, audio and video recordings, newspapers, and artifacts.
For published materials (books, magazines, newspapers, etc.), use the search box on the Special Collections & Archives home page.
Collections of unpublished manuscript or archival records are described in finding aids. A finding aid contains a scope and content note about the collection, offers biographical information about the creator or collector, and explains how the collection is arranged. Here is an example.
Digital materials from over 100 SCA collections are available 24/7 online in Digital Collections. The University Publication Collection is particularly useful.
If you have questions or need assistance in finding materials, please stop by the Special Collections reference desk in Room 625 or send a query through our information request form.
