FUNCTION 

Previously housed on the South Campus in what is now the Abbott Health Sciences Library, the Lockwood Memorial Library has one of the finest collections of books, periodicals, and government documents in New York.

NAMESAKE 

Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) was a Buffalo attorney who served on the University Council for 28 years. A legendary book lover, he amassed what was known as the finest collection of rare books, first editions and manuscripts in the region. The Lockwood family generously contributed $400,000 toward the original Lockwood library-now the Health Sciences Library in Abbott Hall on the South Campus (1933). The Lockwood Memorial Library name was placed on the new library, in recognition of the original endowment.
