Archives & Special Collections

Access to Tarlton’s Special Collections is by appointment only. Please see our contact information below for requesting an appointment. 

The Special Collections Department at the Tarlton Law Library holds significant collections of rare books related to law and legal practice, archives relevant to legal history and the history of legal education in Texas and the United States, and special collections that complement our holdings for the purposes of historical research. These collections provide robust support for research, exhibits, and programming. The department welcomes researchers by appointment. University of Texas faculty and students are especially encouraged to use these resources.
