How to See Archival Materials

In a small-but-growing num­ber of cases, this mate­r­ial may already be scanned and avail­able online. Feel free to peruse these files online or down­load them to use at your convenience.


Oth­er­wise, you will need to visit us in per­son to see these mate­ri­als. Sim­ply click the request box, give us some infor­ma­tion about your visit, and hit sub­mit, and the mate­ri­als will be avail­able for you when you arrive. To learn more about vis­it­ing us, please feel free to click the “Repos­i­to­ries” but­ton near the top of the page.

Please note that in some cases, mate­ri­als are stored off-site. We require 48–72 hours notice before your visit to ensure that they will be wait­ing for you when you arrive.
Finally, some of our mate­ri­als may not yet be open for research use (there will be a note on the find­ing aid to tell you this). How­ever, please feel free to be in touch — we may be able to help you find alter­nate mate­ri­als that address your research needs, and we are always happy to explain access restrictions.
