Giving Funds
Help make a positive and lasting impact by making a gift to the Rare Books & Manuscripts Library (RBML). Your charitable gift is vital to the future of RBML, and gift giving can be at any level.
Donating Materials
Many of RBML's holdings have been acquired through generous donations of collections and endowment funds. Acquisition decisions are based on relevance to the collection development focuses, research value of the material, relationship to other materials in RBML's holdings and the costs of acquiring, preserving, housing, and providing access. Information about the unit's collection strengths and priorities is available on the RBML Collection Development page.
If you would like to make a donation of manuscripts, books, archival collections or other relevant materials, please contact Eric Johnson, Head of Thompson Special Collections, at johnson.4156@osu.edu.
Appraisals
The Ohio State University Libraries cannot provide appraisals for materials offered as gifts-in-kind.
