Services & Staff

Researchers are welcome to use the Ramsay Archival Center in person or may request information via email or phone. Because of limited staffing, we do not conduct extensive research for users but do assist researchers to identify and access appropriate sources.

Department holdings do not circulate. A photocopier is available for public use in the Reading Room with minimal charges, and scans may be requested by patrons.

“There is…a poetic quality about such a college. Its poetry is in its past.”
