  • Older and lesser used social science materials
  • Pre-1978 language and literature in Slavic, East European, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Asian languages
  • UBC theses
  • Older editions of children’s literature
  • Vinyl LPs
  • Books in Indic languages not taught at UBC
  • Music bound periodicals (a selection)
  • Science & engineering bound periodicals
  • Selected items from various UBC Libraries
