The Institute Archives and Special Collections reading room is open to all researchers. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by contacting Archives staff.
There is no limit on the number of appointments that researchers can make, the total amount of time they can spend in the reading room, or the total number of boxes they may request.
Archives staff will assist with locating relevant collections within the limits of our service. Once those limits have been reached, researchers are responsible for identifying the specific materials they would like to see.
Collections held by the Archives do not circulate. In some instances, publicly available digital surrogates of items or collections may exist. Research can often be initiated, or even completed, using online resources.
