Rare Books Collection
Housed in the Research Librarian's office across the hall from the Pride Library reading room is the "PRISPE" collection, which includes first editions of LGBT classics, works signed by famous queer authors or artists, early sexological publications, homoerotic photography volumes, gay and lesbian sex manuals, limited-run editions of rare novels, and manifestoes from the Liberation Era (1969-1979).
NOTE: The Rare Books collection is non-circulating.
