Beginning Monday, May 3 2021, through Friday, August 27, 2021:
- The Manuscripts & Archives Reading Room is open by appointment only (no drop-in access is available) from 10 AM-4 PM, Monday-Friday, to Yale students, faculty, and staff who are authorized to be on campus.
- Due to health and safety guidelines and in the interest of minimizing the number of individuals in library spaces, we are unable to extend library and reading room access to retired staff and faculty (without emeritus status). Please contact Ask Yale Library if you have questions about your status to access the library and special collections reading rooms.
- Staff members are gradually returning to on-site work over the summer, following Yale University and Library COVID-19 guidelines and precautions.
- Staff members continue to offer reference and consultation services: email mssa.assist@yale.edu. Please allow 5-6 weeks for a response to your query.
- Digitization services continue to be offered to patrons with a Yale NetID.
- New digitization of collection material is not currently available to non-Yale patrons. Previously digitized materials are available free of charge.
