The archives are open to researchers by appointment and require at least 30 days advance notice. This allows time for us to ensure that the records requested are available and not subject to restriction. Research assistance, digital scans, and photocopies may be available.
To schedule an appointment or request permission to use archival collections, please email the Archivist.
Some of our archives are restricted. These restrictions range from entire collections to a few individual items and the level of restriction is generally listed in the finding aid or collection description. Many of the restrictions have been put in place in consultation with tribal communities, and they may allow access after consultation and approval. This process is in line with the Protocols for Native American Archival Material. Please contact the archivist to discuss any research request with collections noted as restricted.
