Visit the NYU Libraries website and the Special Collections website for details on library holdings.
To find cataloged materials at NYU and consortium libraries, use the NYU Libraries Catalog. You can narrow your search results to NYU Special Collections by selecting that option from the dropdown in the search box. Searches in the catalog will retrieve collection-level descriptions, which are helpful to identify relevant collections.
When searching in the Library Catalog, start broadly and narrow your search based on your results. Consult the subject headings for additional search terms.
Search here for books, articles, journals and other print materials, videos, sound recordings, e-books, e-journals, databases, and indexes in our local libraries and special collections.
You will get results at the collection, series, and folder levels. You can also search within an individual finding aid using <Ctrl F> after clicking on “View This Guide All on One Page.” It is always a good idea to browse the entire finding aid, as archival descriptions at the folder level may not always be that informative.
See the Archives Beyond Bobst research guide for tips on finding materials in archival repositories around the world.
