The Art History and Archeology department
has compiled a guide intended as an introduction to research collections
in art history in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan
areas. However, the guide contains enough general information
on places like the National Archives to be useful to researchers
from other disciplines.

People who are not affiliated with the University, such as corporations,
foundations, non-profit organiazations, and individuals, are eligible
to become Friends of the Libraries. A minimum tax-deductible donation
of
$150 per year gives such people borrowing
privileges at the campus libraries. It does not, however, permit
remote access to library facilities.
To become a Friend, please contact Kathie Packer at ext. 45674.
