UVM Libraries

Library Research Annex

The Library Research Annex (LRA) houses older and lesser-used materials for the University libraries. Books, journals, government documents, and microforms from Bailey/Howe, Dana Medical, and Cook libraries are stored in closed stacks in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment in the basement of the LRA.

The Archives is also located in the LRA building. Under the direction of the Special Collections department of the Bailey/Howe Library, the Archives houses the University historical collections, the papers of Vermont politicians and other large manuscript collections, and several rare book collections, including the Rush Hawkins Civil War Collection and that of George Perkins Marsh.

Services at the LRA

Materials at the LRA are available for your use. You can request LRA material to be delivered to Bailey/Howe or Dana through the libraries website: http://library.uvm.edu/dana/services/index.html. In most cases, your material will be delivered within 24 hours. Patrons can also request to have articles delivered by campus mail.

Alternatively, you can use materials in the LRA Reading Room, which is open 1-5 pm Monday through Friday. These requests can be placed online (at the address above) or by calling the LRA at 656-4007. A coin operated photocopy machine is available for patron use in the Reading Room.

Most of the material located at the LRA can be found in Voyager. The record will indicate that the item is in the Research Annex collection.
