Prospective users should email archives@gc.cuny.edu to inquire or set up an appointment to consult the Graduate Center Archives.

Please note that some materials may be subject to access restrictions. Because the materials in the Archives are unique and many are quite fragile, access is permitted only under the following procedures:

• Library faculty or staff will retrieve requested materials from the shelves (no more than one box at a time) and will provide folders from a box to the user, for his/her perusal, one at a time. Users may not enter the stacks to remove materials.
• Library faculty or staff must be present while a user is working with the files, and will return folders to the box and the box to the stacks when the user is finished.Users must handle papers with care and make sure that they are returned to the folder in the original order. Notes may be taken in pencil only. Ink and colored markers are prohibited.Library faculty or staff will be available for consultation with the user and will accept requests for photocopies or scans of a reasonable number of pages. There is no self-service photocopying, but photography is allowed.
