In 1973 the J. Reuben Clark Jr. Library was renamed the Harold B. Lee Library. The Special Collections division of the J. Reuben Clark Jr. Library (previously known as Brigham Young University Special Collections prior to 1961 when the J. Reuben Clark Jr. Library was completed) was then known under the name of the Harold B. Lee Library. In 1999 Special Collections was moved to the first floor (second level down) of the Harold B. Lee Library and by request of Aline and L. Sam Skaggs (who made a generous financial donation to the new library) Special Collections was named after L. Tom Perry.
