Guides: Online Research in Special Collections: Personalized Services

Contact a Librarian/Archivist

Please feel free to send us your questions via email, or we are also happy to set up a virtual meeting to discuss your research. We make it our job to know our collections, and chances are, we can answer your question even without being onsite.

If you are a faculty member who would like to expose your class to Special Collections or set up an assignment using our digitized materials, please let us know! We are ready to provide remote instruction during this period of campus closure.
