Special Collections

Savery Library is proud to house multiple special collections, including:

• Rare Books
• Vinyl Records
• Galangue Artifacts
• Art Collection

If you have any questions, please email tcarchives@talladega.edu or call 256-761-6441.

Savery Library has hundreds of books that are included in the rare book collection. They are deemed rare because:

1. of their historical value to Talladega College;

2. they are first editions or very early editions that are of intrinsic value to collectors; or

3. they are early editions or editions relating to African American history that are not likely to be found in many collections around the world.

A list will be available soon. Please email tcarchives@talladega.edu for any additional information.

Talladega College is fortunate to have an extensive collection of vinyl records, some of which are original pressings.

A list will be available soon. Please email tcarchives@talladega.edu for any additional information.

Talladega College is home to an extensive permanent art collection that includes work from artists such as Hale Woodruff and David Driskell. Items from the collection are displayed on a rotating basis at the William R. Harvey Museum of Art and the Goodnow Gallery. When not on display, the items are stored at Savery Library.

A complete list of the Talladega Collection will be coming soon.

The Galangue artifacts are a collection of items from Angola and Nigeria brought back to Talladega College by missionaries supported by the College. Included are tools, decorative items, and statues made out of wood, cloth, fur, etc. For more information, please contact the Special Collections Librarian at tcarchives@talladega.edu.
