Research in Collections and Archives requires at least 24-hour notice prior to arrival. Please contact the Museum Registrar and/or Archivist. You may research in the library without notice during the Museum's open hours. Some magazines, newsletters, and books are restricted due to fragility or age. These are accessible through request Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm when staff is available. To verify whether or not the magazine, newsletter, or book you are looking for is restricted, please contact museum staff. You do not need to make an appointment for this research, but calling ahead will save you time and give staff time to prepare materials for you.
