Scheduling

We will do our best to accommodate your preferred date for a visit. However, because a staff member must be with you throughout your visit, we may not be able to schedule your visit on some days due to other research visits or staff commitments.

Visits of more than 2 days must be scheduled at least 2 full weeks ahead, and may have some additional limits on day to day scheduling to allow us to attend to other commitments

If you are not yet sure of your travel plans, share around what time of the year you would like to visit.

If you are not yet sure of your travel plans, share a general idea (month or months) when you would like to visit.

We do not need a complete list of items at this time, but do need an idea of what and how much material you are interested in. You must provide a complete list of items at least 5 working days before your visit. Listing call numbers or archival group number (AG) will help us process your request quickly.

Additional details about your project, accessibility or accommodation questions, questions about other possible resources, etc.
