Academic Programs
By making a gift toward academic programs, students and faculty have access to more resources to enhance our Core Curriculum. Our goal is to purchase JSTOR Arts and Sciences VIII, V and XI. We also desire to purchase Life Sciences and an Anatomy database as we enhance research in STEM.
Places and Spaces
Student Commons Learning Spaces
The library is often described as the "hub of a university" and at Samford, Harwell Goodwin Davis Library is literally at the center of campus. Being an original 1957 campus building, we need your help to improve and maximize our learning spaces.
The library has seen change and growth as new programs have been added and more students and faculty join us at Samford. We are a place on campus for learning and collaboration for undergraduate and graduate programs. Through renewal and creation of spaces we will be able to support the various learning styles students and faculty engage in daily.
Special Collection University Archives
The Elizabeth Wells Special Collection and Archives Endowment was created in 2016 to honor Mrs. Elizabeth Crabtree Wells, the Chair of Special Collection and Archives for more than 40 years. By supporting this fund, you help preserve the rare pieces of Samford University and Alabama Baptist History stored in Special Collection and Archives.
Solid Foundation
Davis Library Gift Fund
The University Library uses these funds for enrichment opportunities for students and faculty mentors to provide academic program resources where the needs are greatest. These gifts promote excellence and enhance library education and research.
