Goshen College is a private Mennonite liberal arts college in Goshen, Indiana. The college was founded in 1894 and in 1906 established the Mennonite Historical Library, one of the most extensive collections of Anabaptist materials in the world. This collection contains 16mm films that were formerly part of the Library's circulating collection during the 1970's and 1980's. Films from the Mennonite Historical Library primarily focus on improving interpersonal communication, business and management skills, and exploring concepts of diversity such as racial prejudice, Native American traditions, and the emerging awareness of lesbian motherhood. As such, the collection reflects the Anabaptist principles of mutual aid and equality for all.

The Media School Video Game Periodical Collection includes more than 4300 catalogs and magazines related to various aspects of games and gaming, with special emphasis on video and computer games, computer programming, and home video formats and equipment. The collection is comprised of two accessions of print materials gifted to IU by Stony Brook University Libraries and The Strong National Museum of Play in 2016 and 2018, respectively. These collections were brought to IU through Media School professor Dr. Raiford Guins, who is a leading expert on video game history and preservation. Notable items include complete runs or strong representation from the following publications: Antic: The Atari Resource, Amiga World, DieHard GameFan, EGM2, Game Developer, GamePro, Next Generation, Nintendo Power, and the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine. Collection is described to the item-level.
