Some tips to prepare for scheduling an appointment
1. We are unable to accommodate physical browsing. Our material is not stored in the same room as the reference room, and we have two storage facilities. We will need to pull the material before your appointment.
2. If you haven't already, please browse our main databases, PastPerfect, Online Archive of California, and Internet Archive to gather an idea of our holdings and what may be relevant to your search.
3. We schedule research appointments for Tuesdays and Wednesdays with time slots from 9 am-12 pm and 1 pm-4 pm.
