The Mark Ranney Memorial Collection, more than 3,700 volumes of limited editions in fine bindings, illustrated books, art books, and Dr. Ranney's personal library of 19th Century books (English and American literature and books on religion, psychology, natural science, travel, history, etc.) is no longer an active collection except for additions to Corpus Vasorum. Bequeathed in 1907 by Mrs. Martha Wright Ranney in memory of her husband, at one time a member of the University College of Medicine, the collection was one if the earliest gatherings of rare material acquired by the University Libraries.
