Making a Reference Inquiry
Staff will help identify sources of information relevant to your interests but cannot undertake extensive research projects. In most cases, staff are only able to fill offsite research requests if they are sufficiently specific, e.g., a particular document or the contents of a particular folder. In cases where research is required to identify relevant material, archives staff will conduct research, as time permits, for a fee. If desired, Archives staff can sometimes refer customers to an outside researcher for hire who establishes his or her own rates. Please contact the Archives for further information.
In addition to your actual question, please include as much of the following information as possible:
- Name
- Affiliation
- Contact information, especially telephone and e-mail (we usually have follow-up questions).
- When you need it by
