CRL Collections in Library Catalog


The Libraries' catalog has been enriched with over 2,000 records describing selected microform and other collections available through the Center for Research Libraries that may be of interest to Grinnell students and faculty. As a member of CRL, Grinnell College may borrow materials from CRL collections for extended periods. Most requests are filled within a week. Each catalog record contains a link to a special Interlibrary Loan form through which the materials may be requested; in some cases, records also contain links to online guides to the contents of the microform The Creation of Modern Iraq: India Office Political and Secret Files, c. 1914-1921, Mediaeval & Renaissance Manuscripts at Trinity College, Dublin, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the Comintern Archive, 1917-1940, and the Underground Newspaper Collection.

The Center for Research Libraries is a consortium of North American universities, colleges, and independent research libraries that acquires and preserves traditional and digital resources for research and teaching and makes them available to member institutions for extended loan periods through interlibrary loan and electronic delivery.
