Museum Staff: We will reply to all inquiries received from Museum staff within 1 business day. If you need to contact a specific Library staff member, please see our staff directory.
Members of the public: Due to the high volume of questions we receive, we are only able to respond to select inquiries. Response time for inquiries from the general public is approximately 2 weeks. Please consult Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on our About the Library page to see if we have answered your question already. You may also find it helpful to begin your research at your local public, college, or university library; be sure to ask a reference librarian for help finding appropriate resources.
