Archives & Special Collections  

    At the LWLC, we have a number of historical print and digital collections to support your research and classroom needs.  ASU is also home to the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African American Culture.  Consult with a librarian on how to access and incorporate these resources into your courses.  

    Search WorldCat Local

      LWLC is part of the Montgomery Academic Libraries Consortium which includes: Alabama Public Library Services, Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM), Faulkner University, Huntingdon College and Troy University. Through WorldCat, you can do a single catalog search across all libraries. You can make an ILL request or use your ASU Faculty ID card with a consortium sticker to borrow materials directly from these libraries.
