Yes, we can work with you to schedule class instruction or a tour. We only ask that you give as much advance notice as possible since the instruction calendar fills up fast, although we try our best to accommodate any requests.

The short answer is no. Like most archives and special collections, we are a non-circulating library. Very few exceptions are made for materials to be taken out of the building. We ask that researchers plan their research approach according to this policy.

Yes. We accept books, manuscripts, archival materials, and photographs that fall in line with our collecting priorities. You will work with one of our curators to assess the appropriateness of your materials for our collections. We are not able to accept everything offered. We also gratefully accept monetary donations which help fund collection accessibility and preservation, as well as support our educational public programming and exhibitions.
