Buffalo State Helps Veterans, Military Personnel Transition to Campus Life

Birdd Library Preserves History of Science Curricula Development
Buffalo State’s Science Teaching Center, located in the basement of the Science Building, houses a one-of-a-kind collection that is beginning to attract attention from international scholars. The Donald L. Birdd Historic Science Education Curriculum Library chronicles the development of science teaching curricula in the United States from the early 1800s to the present day. The collection contains some 6,000 textbooks, many of them quite rare.
