How do I access archival collections that have not been digitized?

Answer

Firstly, use our Archival Collections Database to search the collections and see if there is something that will help you in your research. If so, come in during our normal open hours. Researchers wanting to look at archival materials need a government issued ID and are required to fill out a materials retrieval form.
