About
Stony Brook University Libraries appreciates the gifts in kind that have contributed to its comprehensive and renowned research collections.
Gifts in kind are donations of library and archival materials that advance scholarship and Stony Brook University’s research and curricular goals.

Collecting Emphasis
Stony Brook University Libraries is highly selective in its acceptance of gift in kind collections. Only distinctive and unique materials for potential inclusion in Special Collections and University Archives are considered. The areas of collecting emphasis are:

  • Primary source materials that document the history of the Long Island region – archives, correspondence, ephemera, maps, manuscripts, maps, photographs, and books.
  • Stony Brook University history.
  • Rare books and maps.
