Rare Book Room


The majority of this collection was made possible through the generosity of two distinguished members of the legal community: Judge Frank M. Wilson and U.S. Senator William A. Blakley.

Judge Wilson donated his private collection of over 2100 volumes of first editions, rare printings of pre-eminent legal writing, novels and research titles. Senator Blakley presented the library with an early printing of the Magna Carta and several other first editions.

These gifts, along with the Law School's original collection of rare books, which includes Las Siete Partidas and a nearly complete collection of the session laws of Texas, are housed in this room, located on the second floor of the Law Library (Room 207).
