Donations
Donations are temporarily suspended July 2025. Urgent cases can be discussed, and we’ll be happy to follow up when normal operations resume. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Hours
Our reading room and reference services are currently closed to allow staff to prepare the collection to move to our newly renovated space on the 5th floor of Murray Library. There will be no access to the reading room or to the materials housed in the University Archives and Special Collections.
Reference services are also temporarily suspended, however, email and voicemail will continue to be monitored. We may be able to assist with research guidance and copies of previously digitized material during this time. For the most efficient service please contact us via our contact form, as our reference phone is not actively staffed (though voicemails are monitored).
