Catherwood Library

Effective December 15, our reading room will be closed for research until January 12. Please continue to contact us with research questions, but note that some of our services will be delayed due to limited availability to the physical archives on campus, including scanning services, remote microfilm access, and information pertaining to the contents of folders in our collections. We will be in touch as soon as we can.
