The Library remains closed to staff and outside visitors. However, Library staff are on site Tuesday through Thursday and we are now offering scan-on-demand services for articles or book chapters for Museum staff and students.  Museum staff and students may also make an appointment for stack browsing or to arrange to pick up loans. Please direct any questions to [email protected].

Make a virtual research visit to the Library Archives and explore our rich and growing array of digitized content by and about the Museum.

Read blog posts about Library staff activities in absentia on the Library News page.
