Staff Hours

The Archivist is generally available to answer questions via phone, e-mail or in person during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30-5:00 during the semester; Monday-Thursday, 8:00-5:30 during the summer).

Our walk-in hours for the reading room are limited to the afternoons in order to make the best use of staff time and resources.

Appointments to use the collections at other times are available, and we encourage you to take advantage of this. Appointments may include morning, evening or weekend times (depending on staff availability).
