Where are we?

Special Collections & Archives is located on the bottom (first) floor of the Dana Porter Library. Enter the library through the front doors, then go down the stairs to your right (across from Browsers Coffee Shop), or take the elevator down to the first floor. We are behind the display cases!

Hours

• Monday to Friday
• 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Please consult the University of Waterloo Library Hours of Service before coming to the Library.

Save time!

Are you coming to consult one of our collections? Let us know ahead of time so we can pull the material and have it ready for you when you arrive.

If you plan to use our overhead scanner, don't forget to bring a USB flash drive or memory key.

Coming from off-campus?

• Directions to the campus
• Campus map (we are LIB)
• Campus parking. If you come in the middle of the day, finding parking in a central location can be challenging. We generally recommend either lot C or UWP.
