Sevier Collection
The Sevier Collection is a general collection of rare books gathered over the
history of the Vanderbilt University Library. It includes acquisitions by gift
of early university faculty; selected signed and association copies; rare books
in divinity, history of religion, and Methodism; books about books, fine binding,
paper-making, and printing; faculty monographs; books by and about members of
the Vanderbilt Family; significant Mark Twain editions; a collection of 18th
and 19th-century accounts by travelers to Latin America; Mesoamerican codices;
and a subject collection in demonology and witchcraft. Publication dates range
from the incunabula period to the present, the fifteenth through the twenty-first
centuries.
Jesse Ely Wills Collection
The Wills Collection gathers together the published works of the twentieth
century writers of the Fugitive Group, centered at Vanderbilt, and the later
group of Agrarian essayists who published I'll Take My Stand
in 1930. The collection now numbers over 1,300 volumes and includes all monographs
of the twenty-four figures, secondary scholarly material, and writings of
their disciples and associates. It is named for the patron of the collection,
one of the Fugitive poets, and a major sponsor of the 1969 addition to the
Jean and Alexander Heard Library building in which the Fugitive Room exhibits
area and the collection are housed.
Sam Fleming Southern Civilization Collection
This collection consists of published materials on the social, intellectual,
and educational history of the South since the Civil War. Also contained in
the collection are first editions of Southern literary works by authors not
closely associated with the Fugitives, including those of George Washington
Cable, Thomas Dixon, Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Spencer, Tennessee Williams,
Walker Percy, and others. An important component is a collection of pamphlets
covering such topics as civil rights, tenant farming, labor, women's history,
industry, social reform, public health, and education.
Vanderbilt Collection
The Vanderbilt Collection consists of works published under the auspices of
Vanderbilt University. It contains historic and current serial publications
of the university including a complete set of books published by Vanderbilt
University Press; bulletins of the university from 1875 to the present; student
yearbooks, the Comet and the Commodore, 1897 to
the present; theses and dissertations accepted by the university; and the
student newspaper, The Hustler.
Items in these book collections are searchable through ACORN,
the Vanderbilt University Library Catalog.

Manuscripts
Fugitive/Agrarian Collection
The Fugitive/Agrarian Manuscript Collection consists of the papers of several
members of both of these important literary groups, including John Crowe Ransom,
Donald Davidson, Jesse Ely Wills, Andrew Nelson Lytle, Frank Lawrence Owsley,
Herman Clarence Nixon, James M. Frank, and Walter Clyde Curry. Also included
is a general collection of Fugitive and Agrarian materials, in which all the
members of both groups are well-represented. Efforts to gather documentation
of the groups' activities and interaction have led to the acquisition of many
of their distinguished associates' papers, including those of Peter Taylor,
Edwin Mims, Brainard and Frances Neel Cheney, Richmond Croom Beatty, Richard
Weaver, George Marion O'Donnell, and David McDowell, among others.
Southern Civilization Collection
The Southern Civilization Manuscript Collection documents the social, intellectual,
and educational history of the South in the late nineteenth and the twentieth
centuries. Collecting also emphasizes the role of women and African Americans
in the development of the modern South. This concentration has resulted in
the acquisition of the papers of civil rights leaders Kelly Miller Smith and
Melvin Watson, political and social activists Elizabeth Denny Vann and Mary
K. (Molly) Todd, publisher James G. Stahlman, local historian Alfred Leland
Crabb, and writer and Southern commentator John Egerton. The interviews and
research that resulted in V. O. Key's landmark "Southern Politics in
State and Nation" are housed in Special Collections, as are the research
for Key associate and Vanderbilt chancellor emeriti Alexander Heard's "The
Costs of Democracy and Made in America: Improving the Nomination and Election
of Presidents." The records of early Nashville educational institution
Wallace University School also reside in Special Collections. The struggles
to fund late nineteenth-century public education in the South are well documented
in the papers of the Peabody Education Fund.
Performing Arts Collections
The focus on the Performing Arts began with the acquisition of the collection
of Francis Robinson, Vanderbilt alumnus and former assistant manager of the
Metropolitan Opera. Also included in Performing Arts are the papers of Oscar-winning
director Delbert Mann; John Lark Taylor, a turn of the century actor with
the Sothern and Marlowe Shakespearean Troupe; Louis Nicholas, music critic
for the Nashville Banner; Francis Craig, bandleader and composer of the classic
"Near You"; musician Isabel Howell; and George W. Boswell's collection of
Middle Tennessee folk songs.
Other Collections
Other noteworthy collections include historian Stanley Horn's collection of
Andrew Jackson letters; the political cartoons of Tom Little and Charles Bissell;
the World War II correspondence from the European and Pacific theaters of
Joe and John Thompson; and the papers of early astronomer E. E. Barnard, famed
sportswriter Grantland Rice, poet and literary critic Donald Davie, and William
H. and Harold Stirling Vanderbilt, among others. Special Collections also
houses the papers of faculty members dating from the beginning of the university,
and the Robert A. McGaw Collection of early Tennessee maps.

University Archives
The records of the university document the history of over 100 schools,
departments, and programs. They include extensive records of the founding of
the university in 1873 and its subsequent development. The archives also houses
records of the University of Nashville and George Peabody College for Teachers,
since 1979 a school of Vanderbilt University. The University Archives not only
provides the history of the institution, but often are retrieved for administrative
and scholarly use, in that they document efforts to develop higher education
in the post-Civil War South. The archives are housed in a state-of-the-art facility
two miles from campus. It offers twenty-four hour retrieval service.
