Viewing archive materials

Archive materials and ego documents can only be viewed on site at the library. You can request photocopies of archive pieces, but photocopies can only be made if the condition of the piece allows it. It is also possible to have archive materials from Atria sent to other archival institutions for viewing on their premises. Likewise, Atria can host archive material from other institutions for viewing on site at Atria. If you would like to view archive materials or make other special arrangements, please contact Atria’s archivist.
