Library staff can share rare materials with remote researchers in the Virtual Reading Room. This is a free, one-hour live session that takes place online in Teams Meeting, a video-call system.

Researchers may view one rare book or one box of archival materials with a library staff member and capture up to 10 JPEG images of the material during the session. 

Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 10: 00 a.m.–11: 00 a.m. (PST). Limit three appointments per month.
