Starting the week of September 28th, current University of Guelph faculty, staff, and students may book an appointment to use materials from Archival & Special Collections in our Reading Room.

Booking an appointment:

• Appointments are available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 p.m

• To ensure access to all those who need to use our materials, please only book one appointment per week

After you book your appointment:

• We will follow up with you to book a short virtual consultation in advance of your appointment (required): 

  • to help you identify the materials you’d like to see during your appointment

  • to review our new Reading Room protocols 

• If you have not yet done so, please register as a researcher with us

• If you already know what you’d like to see during your appointment, you can request the items

• Please note that we must receive your request for materials by 4:30 p.m. on the Wednesday of the week prior to your appointment

We look forward to seeing you and thank-you for your interest in our collections.
