The Special Collections and Archives Department 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Collections of unpublished manuscript or archival records are described in finding aids. For materials that are not digitized, you can use the finding aid to learn what is in the collection and make requests for specific boxes or folders. 

If you have questions or need assistance in finding materials, please stop by the Special Collections reference desk or send a query through our information request form.
