Welcome to Special Collections and Archives

William Gilmore Simms Research Room

Special Collections and Archives is located on the second floor of the James B. Duke Library.  Our mission is to acquire, organize, make available, and preserve a variety of primary and secondary research materials documenting the history and people of Furman University, Greenville Woman's College, Greenville, the South Carolina Upstate, South Carolina Baptists, and 20th and 21st century poets in this state. 

We can incorporate Special Collections materials into class assignments and provide guest lectures orienting students to our collections.  

Please let us know if we can be of assistance.  Please call Jeff Makala at (864) 294-2714 or email Special Collections.

We look forward to working with you and your students!
