Standing Collections at the Hay
Below are the predominant standing collections at the Hay. All of the Hay’s collections are living collections, meaning that they are constantly growing, transforming, and responding to research needs and trends. Hay librarians and curators acquire new materials both at the request of faculty and through observing widespread academic and cultural trends. The collections thus reflect the ever-changing landscape of cultural, historical, and academic discourse.
