About
Our collections support teaching and research in the undergraduate curriculum, faculty research and scholarship, and offer experiential learning opportunities to students in a wide range of disciplines.
UNE’s Special Collections serves as a home for teaching and learning around primary sources at the university. We are an internship site and a hub for collaboration with faculty across colleges. Special Collections draws on the rich holdings of the Maine Women Writers Collection (MWWC), New England Osteopathic Heritage Center (NEOHC) and the Sandra and Bernard Featherman University Archives to enhance experiential learning at UNE.
Materials within our collections receive special care because of format, value, rarity, provenance, storage needs, and other considerations. We aim to make our collections as accessible as possible through engagement with students in courses, increasing digitization, exhibits, and searchable finding aids. Researchers from the UNE community and beyond are invited to use our collections on either campus, by appointment.
