Plan Your Visit

Open to the public, Special Collections welcomes all students, staff, faculty, researchers, and visitors who wish to use the collections, view exhibitions, and attend events. We encourage individual and small group research visits as well as class visits. 

Individual & Small Group Research Visits

We currently have two spaces where collections are brought out for individual and small group research: the Reading Room (Canaday 202) and Old Library 304.
