Special Collections houses rare books, manuscript collections, nursery and seed trade catalogs, photographs, and posters from the 1500s to the present. Many of these materials contain beautiful images that lend themselves to being reproduced and framed for the home or for gifts. Special Collections does not have a gift shop, but the price for reproductions and framing is available upon request. A sample of images available from Special Collections are shown in the Image Gallery. If you would like to place an order or make an appointment to visit Special Collections, please contact Special Collections by e-mail or by calling 301-504-5876.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all Special Collections products and custom reproductions funds the conservation treatment of Special Collections materials. To view items from Special Collections that have been identified for conservation treatment, visit this web page.
