I came to the Special Collections on Friday July 5 and had a wonderful experience researching. Claire was very helpful. I had such a positive experience that I can’t wait to return.

I have been here a couple of times to do some research. It is never crowded, and very quite. The staff is super helpful. The first time I went, I didn't reserve the collection just right, and the guy at the desk with a barrette patiently showed me what to do. If they have the materials you are looking for, this is the place to go.

Definitely worth the 4 hours I spent there today but I believe it is more of a Special Collections Museum

Weirdly vacant feel. Strange token system for parking deck. Some exhibits glorifying known racist community leaders.
