Collections Support Fund
Library collections of all kinds require expert selection, care and management to ensure their continued value to generations of Yale students and faculty and to scholars from around the world. The Library's collections in all subject areas are carefully selected for Yale's teaching and research purposes and their use is facilitated by highly skilled subject specialists and experts. Sustaining collections, however, requires dedicated financial resources. Library collections can only be made available, for example, if they are well cataloged, but cataloging is a time-consuming, professional process. Funds are needed to support trained librarians in areas such as literature, history, divinity, sciences, social sciences, and various international regions. Other funding opportunities include special collections such as historical government documents, and drama collections. Of particular priority are the following programs:
Map Collection Support
The Yale Library is seeking gifts of $100,000 or more to support the cataloguing of maps in the Sterling Memorial Library Map Collection, with the ultimate goal of raising $8 million to complete the entire project.
Architectural Archives Program
The Manuscripts and Archives collection at Yale is seeking funding to support their ongoing work with this important program. The collection holds extensive records of Yale buildings and facilities, records of architectural education at Yale and the papers of noted individuals (and their firms) in the architectural professions. Funds are required for the processing, cataloguing and staffing of this ongoing project.
South Asia Named Collection
In response to increasing demands, named funds for South Asian materials are being sought by the Library to augment and maintain our existing South Asia collection.
