Collection Policy Statement Index
The Library of Congress does not normally collect book jackets beyond those accompanying books selected for the Rare Books and Special Collections Division. On a highly selective basis, book jackets and book jacket designs of particular interest for the history of graphic design, and book jackets which are limited edition fine prints, may be acquired for addition to the collections of the Prints and Photographs Division.
The above does not preclude the temporary retention of book jackets for exhibition or reference purposes.
