About
the Alabama Room
The Alabama Room at The University of West
Alabama houses the library's special collections and archives. Several
collections make up the Alabama Room holdings, including the Alabama
Collection. Mrs. Mary Brock, the University Librarian during the 1930s and
1940s, started the collection when the University was known as the State
Teachers College at Livingston. The library was then housed in Bibb Graves
Hall. The core of the Alabama Collection included the titles which Miss
Julia Tutwiler had donated to the Alabama Normal College at Livingston
during the years she served as president of the school. Over the years the
Alabama Room has grown to include rare books, manuscripts, and archives.
Please see our Collection Policy
for a full scope of the collection.
