In January 2017, the Jay I. Kislak Foundation announced it was making a substantial donation of rare books, maps, and manuscripts to the university's libraries. In preparation for the extensive donation, the University of Miami renovated a former lecture hall, now called the Kislak Center at the University of Miami, to house the works and the university's existing special collections and archives. Among the vast holdings in the university's Kislak Center are [[Christopher Columbus]]' original published copies of [[Columbus's letter on the first voyage|his letter on the first voyage]] aboard the ''[[Niña]]'', which Columbus authored on February 15, 1493.<ref>{{cite news |last=Veciana-Suarez |first=Ana |date=January 22, 2017 |title=This college donation is truly historic.
