Archives Hours and Rare Book/Periodical Access

The Archives is open generally from 9:00-4:00, Monday to Friday except for holidays and library closures as listed above. 

Archives services are limited until August 24, 2025 while Archivist Laureen Harder-Gissing is on a research leave. Access to archival materials is by appointment or prior arrangement only. If you are planning a visit, contact the archives well in advance as email and phone messages will be checked only periodically.  For more information on service changes, see our plan your visit page.

The Library's rare book and periodicals collection is housed within the Archives and accessible only during Archives' open hours (9am-4pm, Monday to Friday). In the library catalogue, these items are designated as "Milton Good Library rare monographs" or "Milton Good Library rare periodical." Generally, rare items can be requested at the Milton Good Library desk without an appointment. However, rare items published before 1840 frequently require special handling and the presence of the archivist. If requesting to view a pre-1840 item, please contact us.
