Special Collections holds and manages collections of rare books and other valuable, unique, or fragile materials that would be impossible to replace. Consequently, access to and use of our holdings is limited—that is, materials do not circulate, photo-reproduction is on a case-by-case basis, and some items can only be consulted with staff assistance. Please be mindful that you might request an irreplaceable book and, as such, this book requires careful and deliberate handling.
The Eudora Welty Collection consists of approximately 90 books with the majority being first editions (with some titles in multiple copies) as well as special and occasional publications. Additionally, the Collection includes copies of periodicals where Welty’s short stories and other writings first appeared.
