Beginning May 21, our Special Collections Research Center will be open for research and exhibit viewing by appointment only. Because of a major infrastructure improvement project starting in early June, Special Collections won't be able to maintain regular weekly hours.
You can make an appointment for Monday through Friday between 10am and 4:45pm by email at spcoll@wm.edu or by phone at 757-221-3090. We encourage you to get in touch with us several days before your visit. If you'd like an appointment on the same day, please make the request by phone. While we will strive to accommodate all appointment requests during our renovation as best we can, short notice or same-day appointments cannot always be guaranteed.
Please review our Visit Special Collections page for more information about Special Collections’ policies and helpful tips for planning your research at Swem SCRC.
