Research appointments
The ACT Archives & Special Collections Reading Room is open to all, regardless of institutional affiliation, for use of our collections. Our collections are original, unique and/or rare. We ask all users to help us keep the materials safe and secure by observing the following policies and procedures. All materials must be used within the Reading Room; items do not circulate. Many items are digitized and may be available to you online, if you are unable to come in person. Please contact the ACT Reference to arrange an appointment or request digital copies of materials.
The repository is located at:
