Incunabula Database -- The Bancroft Library. About the Rare Book Collections The University Library's Rare Book Collection was founded in 1954 and transferred to The Bancroft Library in 1970. It is responsible for collecting, preserving, and making accessible old, rare, fragile, and sensitive materials over the entire range of the Library of Congress classification scheme. As it is impossible to collect actively in all fields, certain collections are more significant than others. As a rule, the Rare Book Collections avoid the subject areas of law, medicine, music, and East Asiatic languages, since other campus libraries specialize in these areas. Genealogy and military science are not collected. Overview of collections Tebtunis PapyriContains nearly 35,000 papyrus fragments, ca. 300 B.C.-300 A.D.
