The Newberry Library believes that proactive collection development is paramount to its mission of serving research in the humanities. Each potential acquisition the Library considers is intensely scrutinized with the goal of selecting those books and manuscripts most likely to challenge opinions, expand knowledge, kindle the imagination, and stimulate original research. The books in the Library have not been acquired because they are valuable (although they often are), but because they are unusual and evocative, and because they offer the possibility of expanding human knowledge.
The Library is pleased to share a selection of new acquisitions from 2007-2008.
Also take a look at the Newberry's acquisitions highights from recent years: 2006-2007, 2005-2006, 2004-2005, 2003-2004, and 2001-2003.
Please also see the Newberry's recent pre-1500 manuscript acquisitions, as well as the new acquisitions listed on the Local and Family History Department's Genealogy Blog.
