Collections and Research
Our archival collection is open to the public and we welcome researchers of all kinds. Visiting researchers may request to view any of our archival materials onsite in our Mary Conley Research Room (item condition permitting). We also have numerous secondary resources available in the Research Room.
To ensure staff availability and maximize use of visit time, appointments are required for all research visits. Please email or call the Archives a minimum of 48 hours before your planned visit.
We are often able to digitize materials for researchers who are not able to visit in person, for a small fee. Please see our image reproduction request form for details.
Note that unfortunately our building does not currently have level access to the front door; several broad stairs are required to enter. If researchers are not able to visit due to this accessibility barrier, material reproduction fees will be waived.
Search below to get an idea of our holdings, though note that improving access to our materials is an ongoing process.
Detailed finding aids for many collections can also be found via Archives CANB:
