Commemorative and Collectible Culture

Commemorative and Collectible Culture

Collections such as these hold significance for many.  They include materials that represent what we heard or already knew about what was going on in the world.  They either cover a particular event or several.  Feel free to look through the pages and contact us to see the materials.

How to Use the BPCL & What to Bring With You

  • BPCL's hours are more limited than the main floor, but we're open late on Monday and Tuesday.
  • We're an archive/repository, so most of our materials cannot be checked out.
  • Most of our collection is not open for browsing. You need to request materials at our reference desk with your university ID or a photo ID. 
  • The reference collection is open for browsing! It's one of the best places to get started with popular culture research.
  • We have a copier and a scanner available for copying/scanning materials that cannot be checked out.  There is a fee for copying, but scanning is free.
