Emory Libraries

Our African American Collections recount the beginnings of people of African descent in North America extending to the present, reflecting the development of social, political, and cultural movements, literature, visual arts, dance, and sports. They celebrate the efforts of well-known public intellectuals, scholars, writers, and religious leaders. They also affirm the contributions of lesser-known, though equally important, community activists, cultural workers, and African Americans representing divergent backgrounds and perspectives.  

The University Libraries Fund for Excellence is the discretionary fund that covers all aspects of the Libraries’ works. Funding for general collections allows Emory Libraries to develop, care for, and expand holdings in every category, and to preserve their materials for future generations.  

The Medical Library Fund is the discretionary fund that supports all aspects of collection development for the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library.  Access to current online information is critical in the health sciences, and WHSC Library is an essential information resource for this community. Library collections support excellence in teaching, innovative research, and the delivery of quality healthcare. Donations will have a lasting impact on future generations of scholars and your generosity is an investment in their future. 

The Linda Matthews Fund for Special Collections (MARBL Fund for Excellence / Linda Matthews Fund for Special Collections) is the discretionary fund of the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.  The remarkable archives and rare volumes in the Rose Library have been shaped and strengthened through the generosity of thousands of individuals who have supported the library through the decades.
