Welcome to the Special Collections
& FIT Archives home page
Located in Room E427, the Library's
Special Collections contains a wealth of
information. Materials have been chosen for their
rarity, fragility, age, unusual format, or intrinsic
value, and are placed in a secure, monitored,
closed-stack environment.

Special Collections acquires, preserves, and
provides access to a wide range of primary research
materials in their original formats, including
archives, scrapbooks, oral histories, fashion
sketches, illustrations, books, journals and other
items.
Subjects include the apparel industry, fashion and
regional costume, textile design and the textile
industry, the FIT archives, and, to a lesser extent,
art, architecture and interior design. We are
committed to supporting research by FIT students and
faculty, as well as designers and researchers from
the apparel and textile field, other industry
professionals, and scholars. |
