The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections supports legal education and research at The University of Texas by providing a secure home for substantial and diverse collections of rare law books and archives. The navigation at the left will guide you to more information on our collection strengths and current programming.
There are two full-time librarians available to assist you with your research. Rare Books Librarian and Archivist Elizabeth Haluska-Rausch holds a PhD in History from Harvard University and an MS in Information Science from University of North Texas. Assistant Archivist Jennifer Cummings holds an MSIS from University of Texas at Austin, with a specialization in archives.
Rare Books and Archival collections are generally avaliable for use, providing that the guidelines for the Rare Book Room are followed. While an appointment is not required, it is recommended. If you are coming from outside Austin, we especially urge you to contact us in advance, so that we can help you make the most of your research visit.
