Established as a department in September of 1970, the Albert S. Cook Library Special Collections and Archives facilities house the historical records and artifacts of Towson University, from its founding as a normal school to its present status as a comprehensive metropolitan university. Special Collections and Archives pays great attention to collecting materials that focus on the history of education at Towson University, within the State of Maryland, and to a smaller extent, in the U.S. and internationally. In 2009 the department expanded its collecting scope to include Judaica and Judaic Studies when Baltimore Hebrew University (BHU) became the Baltimore Hebrew Institute at Towson University and moved its Joseph Meyerhoff Library rare books and artifacts collections to Special Collections and Archives.
