As part of its ongoing commitment to preserving and improving access to its holdings, the Beinecke has begun an aggressive campaign to process its backlog of manuscript collections.
Please be aware that, beginning in March 2007, some archival collections at the Beinecke will be closed during processing.
As a service to its readers who are planning research trips, the Beinecke offers the following two lists: Currently Closed Collections and Collections to be Closed in the Coming Months.
These lists are subject to change and will be updated regularly. Note: the dates given reflect the 1st day of the month.
For further information, please contact beinecke.library@yale.edu.
