We can support your research through scan-and-deliver services by email or through in-person appointments.

We offer a limited amount of research-quality scanning for free, limited to what can be found and scanned within one hour of staff time. For more information, you can review our reproduction policies on our homepage. If we determine that the quantity of materials you request will exceed an hour, we can provide a quote for scanning additional materials.

We set research appointments on Tuesdays through Saturdays between 9 a.m until 4 p.m., subject to availability. (Please check here for holidays and exceptions.) We will need a list of the materials you wish to view by 12 noon (ET) at least three operational days (Tuesday through Saturday) in advance to ensure we have time to locate all materials and bring anything that is stored offsite to the reading room. (For example, if you request materials by 12 noon on Tuesday, we can usually set your appointment for Friday. If your request is after 12 noon on Tuesday but before 12 noon on Wednesday, we can set your appointment for Saturday. We are not open on Sunday and Monday, so if you request materials by 12 noon on Thursday, we can set your appointment for the following Tuesday.)
