Historical collections focus on pedagogical research, curriculum and children's literature, and institutional history, with extensive material accessible via Pocket Knowledge, the digital archive. EDUCAT is the library's online searchable catalog, with library resources also discoverable through Summon TC SuperSearch. In 2001 the library received a $6.5 million gift from Professor Ruth Gottesman, to establish 'the Library of the Future'. A dedication ceremony was held on November 4, 2004. Previously the library of Teachers College was known as Milbank Memorial Library, named after Thomas Milbank and dedicated as such in 1982. Before moving to Russell Hall in 1924, where it occupied four floors and the tower, it was located at 9 University Place, and known as the Bryson Library, named after Mrs. Peter M. Bryson. (en)
