Scheduling your visit

A significant portion of our archives is available at the Wells Library during the BFCA’s usual hours of operation. It’s a good idea to review the information about what to expect when you visit before you make your way here.

Some of our materials are restricted and can only be handled under certain conditions or with permission from outside parties. If you are interested in a specific item or collection, we recommend you contact an archivist before you plan your visit.
