We have what I think is a fascinating collection, because it combines state records, as well as private manuscripts, along with the largest book collection about Tennessee and things related to Tennessee found anywhere. To be able to take what we had and move to where we are now is such a huge step forward.
The library is the core of a university. It’s central to the students, it’s central to the faculty. Whether it’s the books, it's the journals, it’s the access to the information. That’s why we’re so passionate about it.
The librarians believe that the library is the heart of the campus.... We wanted to be sure that our collection was going to be safe, and was going to be well cared for. We thought that Iron Mountain had the best setup for our collection and for meeting our local needs for both our general collection and our special collections.
