The UCR Library encourages donations of gifts to supplement and complement the library's overall collection of research and teaching materials.  A gift may be either a donation of money or a gift in kind, which includes all forms of book and non-book materials in various formats.

Donation of Financial Assets

• Donations of money are received by Library Administration
• Checks should be made payable to the UC Riverside Foundation
• If the finances are to support a specific fund or purchase please include that in the memo section of the check
• Donate to the UCR Libraries Book Fund online

Donation of Rare Books and Manuscripts or University Archives

• Please contact specialcollections@ucr.edu

Donation of Materials for the Circulating Collection

• The UCR Library generally does not accept unsolicited material donations due to the cost of assessment and processing, the high likelihood of duplication and space limitations. For special cases related to unique UCR research, please email colldev@ucr.edu with a list of proposed titles or images of the item spines for review.
