Access
Access to the Archives is limited at this time and by appointment only. Please contact Mark Copsey (527-2203) or Brooke Davey (527-2527) to set up a time. Some inventories exist, but most collections are unprocessed. While the archives staff can generally provide information about some items, there is little or no information available about most of the collection. Currently, the Archives is undergoing a major inventory and staff members are developing access tools for the collections.
Archives patrons should be aware that there might be some delay when requesting access to collections, as the archives staff may need to screen collections for sensitive information before releasing them for research use.
