  The BaBar experiment at SLAC is designed to measure CP violation in the B
meson system, however the very high statistics combined with the different
electron and positron beam energies, the detector design and the open trigger
allow a wide variety of spectroscopic measurements. We are beginning to tap
this potential via several production mechanisms. Here we present recent
results from initial state radiation, hadronic jets, few body B and D hadron
decays, and interactions in the detector material. We also summarize
measurements relevant to Ds meson spectroscopy, pentaquarks and charmonium
spectroscopy from multiple production mechanisms.
