For the first time in over fifty years, one of CWRU’s oldest collections is back on display. The Kelvin Smith Library Special Collections Coin Collection holds over three hundred coins spanning 600 years of ancient history, and a small group of historic coins from the modern era. Ancient Antioch to Contemporary Cleveland reintroduces the collection through the coins of the ancient city of Antioch and their journeys to Cleveland in the 19th century. On view now in the Henry R. Hatch Reading Room, located on the second floor.

Celebrating CWRU's 200th Birthday!
In 2026, we celebrate CWRU's 200th birthday. For the 150th birthday, or sesquicentennial celebration of the founding of Western Reserve College in 1826, CWRU created heraldic banners representing CWRU's schools from its past. Nine of these have been replicated and are on display in the central staircase of Kelvin Smith Library.
