About
The Jen Library Archives and Special Collections include a collection of the published records of SCAD, including Design Press, collections of artist’s and art press books, pop-up books, materials on old Savannah, and rare or fragile materials. There are small but growing collections of stereo views and postcards of Savannah and of memorabilia from the old Hotel De Soto. The library also houses the papers of Myrtle Jones, a local Savannah artist. There are a number of other manuscript collections housed here, including the Dr. Theresa Anthony Collection of Fashion and a collection of articles about and catalogs on Benny Andrews’ work. There are two large collections of comic books and graphic novels: the Shirrel Rhoades Collection of Sequential Art and Dr. Esteban Fuertes Collection of Sequential Art. The department recently received a collection of graphic novels from Catherine Cupps. The Don Bluth Collection of Animation contains the cels, drawings, storyboards, and administrative papers of the studio and materials for feature productions and games as well as concepts and ideas. A number of periodical titles are also housed here. These include older issues of serials in the circulating collection as well as newer titles that are housed only in Special Collections. We also house the student theses written prior to 2002. Our most recent acquisition is a great collection of publications from the SCAD chapter of the Society for Collegiate Journalists. These include 46 zines and mini-comics written and published by SCAD students.
