From 1958 to 1999, the Lilly Library published annual reports covering most academic years, June through July. These yearly summaries show the history of the Lilly Library, but also include information that can be useful to researchers.
Periodically, the Friends of Lilly Library published newsletters.
All these publications are available to use at the Lilly Library and to check out at the Wells Library. Some are also available for sale. Contact us for information on purchasing print copies of our publications.
