Priorities

A New Home for MARBL

A research and teaching library for Emory, for Atlanta, and for the world, this signature building will house the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library and all its preeminent collections under one roof. As the nexus of a national humanities center, MARBL will foster creative and intellectual engagement through exhibitions, lectures, readings, and symposia for present and future generations.

Key Collections

Gifts to support the acquisition of collections will build on internationally known holdings and provide the margin of excellence that MARBL needs to maintain its trajectory of growth.

Endowment

As one of the nation’s youngest leading special collections libraries, MARBL’s endowment lags behind those of its peer institutions. Your gift to the endowment will ensure that MARBL will continue to grow and thrive for generations to come.

Digital Innovations

MARBL’s humanities research laboratory will further the incubation, exploration, and production of new forms of scholarship and play a catalytic role in creating new ways of understanding our cultural heritage.

Annual Fund Support

Ongoing annual gifts to the library provide critical, flexible support that allows investment in strategic priorities throughout the year. Because they are pooled with many gifts from dedicated supporters, annual gifts have great impact in addressing immediate needs.
