Our collections must be used in our reading rooms. Some finding aids contain digitized copies of parts of a collection or references to digital files. But in most cases viewing a collection in its entirety requires a visit.
Please contact Special Collections or the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture for help finding collection material and to make appointments to access material.
