The CBI archives are open to the public. However, all requests for materials should continue to be routed through our Interim Archivist, Amanda Wick. Items will be made physically available at the Andersen Library four days/week via appointment with the Archivist. We will also continue to make digital items accessible through increased scanning capabilities at low-no cost to researchers and will work to provide access as quickly as possible. Please visit the Andersen Library website for up-to-date hours and information
**Note: materials from the Archives and Special Collections are now used in the Maxine Houghton Wallin Special Collections Research Center reading room, located on the ground floor of Andersen Library.**
