Special Collections at MSEL in French Studies


The Sheridan Libraries of the Johns Hopkins University hold a treasure trove of rare books including incunabula, medieval manuscripts, fine press books, historical manuscript collections, and other special materials.
 
The Special Collections Department houses these materials because of their scarcity, fragility, or value. However, they are valuable and unique resources for research, and are not to be overlooked in any field of study.
