Visiting for Research

All researchers are welcome to collections at the Zhang Legacy Collections Center during open hours from 8 am  to 5 pm, Tuesday to Friday and Saturday from 9 am -4 pm during academic sessions.  Because of the type of storage we use, it is will be the best use of your time to let us know what you would like to see prior to your visit.  Researchers can also make appointments to make sure materials and staff will be available.  Please contact Susan Steuer or email  arch-collect@wmich.edu for further information.
