Hours and Services
The Archives is a unique part of the
library at North Park, and as such, our hours and policies are different
than those of the University Librarys. The collections are open for
research by appointment to students, faculty and staff, and to the general
public. Due to the nature of archival material, the collections do not
circulate and are used on-site. Please contact us with any
questions; we are happy to provide reference information about the
collections, the repository, or other repositories.

limited amounts of copies available, as described in detail below.

items.

Off-site patrons not able to visit the Archives may request photocopies of
previously identified records up to the amount of 50 pages, per

Policies for using the
collections:
Researchers work with the archival material on-site, as our
collections do not circulate. When you visit the Archives, you will be
asked to complete and sign a registration
form before using the materials. Please note that we require
a photo ID for use of the collections.
Research services:
Due to our small size, we are not able to perform research into our
records on behalf of off-site individuals. However, we will be glad to
provide you with a list of independent researchers in the Chicago area who
might be interested in assisting you in your research. (Please note that
we do not assume responsibility for these researchers and are in no way
involved in their hiring). Contact
the Archivist for this information.
Do you have something to
give to the Archives?
If you have material that you are interested in sending to or bringing
into the Archives, please read Donations
and Transfers, and please contact the Archivist before forwarding
your items.
