The Mount Allison University Libraries and Archives include the Ralph Pickard Bell Library, the Alfred Whitehead Music Library, and the University Archives. The libraries provide Mount Allison students and faculty with access to information around the world on-line and through book and periodical collections. They are committed to working with students and faculty to promote information literacy - accessing, critically evaluating, and using information effectively and ethically. Their librarians offer in-depth reference services, in-class instruction and research interviews by appointment.
The Mount Allison University Libraries hold over 1.2 million books, videos, DVDs, audio materials, microforms, maps, etc., and provides access to the contents of over 22,000 journals in various formats. The Bell Library houses all of the University's collections except music, including collections of rare books, maps and manuscripts dating from as far back as the 17th century. The Alfred Whitehead Music Library is home to impressive collections of catalogued printed music, books and bound journals (over 24,000), indexed sheet music (over 6,000 items), specialized electronic databases such as RILM Abstracts of Music Literature and Grove Music Online, and audio-visual materials including over 7,500 commercial audio recordings as well as 30 years of recordings of Mount Allison Department of Music's concerts. Students can access the electronic library catalogues and databases by computer from their residence room, from any of the computer labs on campus, or from anywhere they have Internet access. The Libraries are open seven days a week during the school year. They are a member of the Atlantic Scholars Information Network (ASIN) which permits Mount Allison students and faculty to consult and borrow materials in academic libraries throughout Canada.
The Archives are housed in the Ralph Pickard Bell Library. Archival holdings support the University's administrative operations and also act as primary research sources for faculty, students, alumni and the general public. The University Archives' documentary holdings comprise the "memory" of Mount Allison.
The Archives secure, preserve and make available the archival records of Mount Allison University which have legal, financial, and historical value. Holdings consist of over 2,000 feet of textual records, approximately 10,000 photographs, as well as manuscript maps, architectural drawings, videocassettes, films and sound recordings. Records and publications of the Board of Regents, Senate, Faculty Council, Office of the President and all University units, departments and programs, as well as records and publications related to faculty, student and campus life from 1843 to the present are acquired. The Archives obtain as well selected private fonds and collections related to Westmorland County and the Sackville (New Brunswick) area such as family papers, business records, records of local clubs and organizations. Archival documents must be examined in the Archives and are not available for loan. Access to the Archives and reference assistance are available by appointment.
