The FIT Library Department of Special Collections and FIT Archives acquires, preserves, and provides access to a wide range of primary research materials in their original formats, including archives, scrapbooks, oral histories, sketches, illustrations, monographs, journals, and other items.

Subjects include the apparel industry, fashion, regional costume, textile design, the textile industry, the FIT archives, and, to a lesser extent, art, architecture, and interior design. Department personnel are committed to supporting research of FIT students and faculty as well as designers and researchers from the apparel and textile fields and other industry professionals.
