Planning Your Visit

The collections are open to all. Researchers--especially those visiting from a distance--are encouraged to contact Special Collections before coming to use the collections. Upon arrival you will be asked to sign in, provide identification showing name and address, and give an indication of the type of research you will be performing. Belongings are stored in a secure area and we ask that only paper, pencil, and a laptop computer, if desired, be brought into the reading room. Our reading room is enabled with a wireless internet connection.

Location
