We all need help sometimes
Our research support specialists can assist.
How can we help you?
We can:
- assist you with your research
- help you plan your visit
- schedule an appointment with a reference specialist
- answer general questions about our collections and services
We do not conduct in-depth research on behalf of clients. While we make every attempt to accommodate our clients' requests, we must work within our existing capacity.
If you have done some preliminary research, you can provide references to those documents along with your question.
