Researchers will be asked to fill out a registration form, check their bags and follow our handling guidelines. An appointment is highly recommended as our staff is very small. You may wish to consult our list of archival fonds and collections to narrow your search before your visit. A consultation with the archivist will help you find all available sources for your topic.
