Schedule Your Visit:
To schedule a visit to the IU Libraries University Archives, please email archives@indiana.edu. We are open M-F, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, and Saturdays, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Saturdays are by appointment only and must be made by 5:00 pm on Thursday.
What To Expect:
When you arrive at the Archives, let the front desk know that you have an appointment to see a collection. You will be instructed to place your bags, jacket, and any food or beverage in the locker. Laptops, pad of paper, pencil (no pens please), camera, phone, and/or books are all permitted in the reading room. An archivist will come out to greet you and have you fill out a registration form, which will only take a few minutes. They will also show you to your requested collection(s) and will kindly instruct you on how to properly handle the materials.
Note: If you are not quite finished viewing your materials and have to leave, you may ask the archivist to place your materials on hold.
Internet Access for Non-IU Guests:
Indiana University provides guest accounts for non-IU visitors, so that they can have internet access on campus. If you require a guest account during your visit, please email archives@indiana.edu. It is important that you request a guest account at least 1 week in advance to your visit. This ensures that your account will be set up by the time you arrive.
