While only a fraction of materials from the Libraries' collections are represented, the site is representative of the distinction and diversity of collections from the Northwestern Government and Geographic Information collection, Herskovits Library of African Studies, Music Library, McCormick Library of Special Collections and University Archives, and Transportation Library. The collections contain a wide range of media and include many primary sources covering many topics.
