NAL's Special Collections houses rare books, manuscript collections, nursery and seed trade catalogs, photographs, and posters from the 1500s to the present. Many of these materials contain beautiful images that lend themselves to being reproduced and framed for the home or for gifts. Digital copies, photocopies and fine art print reproductions of these images are available for purchase from NAL. A sample of images available from Special Collections is shown in our Image Gallery.

To place an order or make an appointment to visit Special Collections, please contact Special Collections by e-mail or by calling 301-504-5876.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all Special Collections products and custom reproductions funds the conservation treatment of Special Collections materials. To view items from Special Collections that have been identified for conservation treatment, visit this web page.
