Last collection of education prints and ephemera contains over 1,800 printed items related to education in the United States from 1788 to approximately 1930, with the bulk of the items dating from 1850 to 1910.

The collection highlights institutions, products, and services relating to personal knowledge, understanding, character building, and moral and social qualities including the tools, equipment, supplies, and structures used for learning and teaching these disciplines in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This includes items associated with academic achievement, exhibits, lectures, and institutions of learning.
