There are thousands of items in the Missouri Valley Special Collections: books, tables, chairs, drawers full of microfilm. But as our name suggests, we're especially proud of our Special Collections.
Archivists at the library have preserved, processed, and prepared 220 special collections and 40 photograph collections. While there's something "special" about each of these collections, we are excited to highlight our favorites in a new Special Collections Spotlight video series.
First up? One of our marquee holdings, the Mrs. Sam Ray Postcard Collection (SC58).
Be on the look-out for more videos exploring our most special Special Collections.
