Student's Personal Museum: USC Libraries Special Collections

By: Amy Wang ‘21

USC students have had the benefits of studying so close to numerous history, science, and art museums. What many students do not realize is that we have our own special museum located right in Doheny Memorial Library. Within USC libraries, students can find Special Collections, which is an archive of primary sources consisting of historical documents, books, newspaper clippings, and many more different types of materials. What also distinguishes Special Collections from normal museums is that students are allowed to touch and view the any and all of the resources they request.
