Falk Library has a small but growing group of materials that constitutes its Special Collections. The materials include archival collections of private and personal papers of noted individuals, published materials that relate to HSLS people and activities, and similar items. The library does not actively collect in this area but will accept donations if they fit within the library's collection policy.

The Library is beginning to collect both newly-published and older books relating to the University of Pittsburgh health sciences and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). These may include biographies and other texts by or about noted health science faculty and histories that relate to Pitt and UPMC. They may be found in PITTCat for the Health Sciences (Catalog).
