Use the Archives and Special Collections finding aids to
research rare books and manuscript collections. A finding aid is
a descriptive tool that includes the contents and arrangement of
materials in a collection. Finding aids can help you determine
whether or not a collection is relevant to your research needs.
Finding aids are detailed inventories, registers, indexes, and
guides to describe collections of primary source materials. They
provide a comprehensive overview of a collection's scope and
contents. They define the conditions under which a collection
may be accessed or copied, explain its provenance, and contain
histories of individuals and organizations connected with the
collection. Please cite the collection number (e.g. SPEC. 003)
and the box number (e.g. Boxes 1 and 2) to request specific
materials. John Steinbeck Collections 376th Bombardment Group
