The libraries provide support for a broad range of undergraduate
instruction and scholarly research in all aspects of the cultures
of ancient Greece and Rome. Green Library is the main location for
these collections, except for ancient art and archaeology, which
are collected primarily in the Art Library. Most collections of,
and publications on, ancient art and archaeology, including the
corpora of Greek vases, excavation reports for major sites, and
the like can be found there. Green Library holds runs of the main
journals and monographic series in the classics, together with the
main collections of primary texts and secondary literature in ancient
history, philosophy, science, literature and classical philology,
and other areas. Together the libraries aim to establish complete
holdings of primary texts in all significant editions and to collect
in depth the secondary literature relevant to the research interests
of faculty and graduate students. The Bibliographer welcomes suggestions
of books or other material for purchase.
The Raubitschek Room, named in honor of the late professor emeritus
Antony E. Raubitschek, is located in Room 351, Green Library East.
It brings together the primary texts of Greek and Latin epigraphy
and papyrology, together with the necessary secondary and reference
literature. This collection does not circulate.
The Department of Special Collections is home to a large body of
early printed books relevant to the history of classics as a discipline
and to the reception of ancient texts in modern Europe. The department
has extensive holdings of first and early editions of classical texts
published by Aldus, the Estienne family, Froben, and other Renaissance
printers and illustrated editions of all eras; it also collects heavily
in the early secondary literature of the classics.
