The Division of Special Collections maintains a small collection of incunabula and early printed material. This list includes books originally listed in Incunabula in Ellis Library: A Checklist (Missouri, 1978).

These materials are available to researchers during the Division of Special Collections regular service hours. Please see Policies for Use of Book Collections for more information about accessing this material.

The incunabula are listed according to F.R. Goff's Incunabula in American Libraries (Millwood, NY: Kraus Reprint, 1973). Because of its importance and the interest shown in it, the Library's single leaf from the Gutenberg Bible is also included. All other titles are complete texts.
