The IHRC has limited archival staffing during 2011. Researchers should send an e-mail to ihrc@umn.edu to request appointments with archival staff. Walk-in researchers may consult the IHRC's on-site public access terminal, but those arriving without appointments will experience delays in collection access.
At the public access terminal, researchers have access to a presentation giving an overview of the IHRC's materials and instructions for using online search engines.
Researchers should consult these sources to learn about the IHRC and to define their projects. Staff will assist researchers on a first-come, first-served basis, and appointments help the archival staff to prepare information specific to a researcher's project.
