Gifts of Collections

Library collections grow in only two ways—through purchases and gifts. The Stockwell Memorial Library started with a number of gifts from Randolph G. Adams, first director of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan and private antiquarian dealer. Since that time, the Library has received tremendous support from bibliophiles, collectors and other benefactors who wish to place their collections with us.

If you have an interest in donating your library or individual items to Albion College, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is important to note that the Albion College Library contains over 376,000 volumes, and while we are happy to evaluate individual items and collections, we are only able to accept materials that complement our current collections and that are consistent with the Library's collection development policies.

To discuss the potential gift of a collection, contact the Library Director, Dr. John P. Kondelik at jkondelik@albion.edu or (517) 629-0567.
