Drew University ‘s Special Collections program seeks to collect, preserve, interpret, provide access to, and promote the use of rare and unique materials housed in Special Collections and University Archives, in order to support research and the academic programs of the University, including use by undergraduates, and to preserve rare, fragile or vulnerable materials.

Drew’s Special Collections and University Archives has three main divisions: the Methodist Library (containing both the collections of Drew and the General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church), the University Archives, and other Special Collections, most notably our collection of Willa Cather and Cather-related materials.
