Named in honor of Robert Vosper, director of the University of Kansas Libraries from 1951 to 1960.
The Kenneth Spencer Research Library is home to some of the rarest and most precious volumes and materials in the world. The collections here encompass recorded human knowledge ranging from cuneiform tablets written four millennia ago, to the imagined far-future landscapes of science fiction authors being published today. Spencer Research Library is open to everyone. We welcome the public as well as researchers and scholars from all academic disciplines.
