Visiting Special Collections

Empty chairs and table in the Huppe Reading Room

Special Collections is now open to all internal and external patrons for in-person research, by appointment. Our hours are Monday-Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except on certain holidays. We will also continue to provide online assistance whenever possible and recommend virtual consultations prior to an in-person visit to ensure the most relevant material is made available. To request items and schedule appointments, contact us at speccoll@binghamton.edu.

In order to protect the health of our patrons and staff, we will maintain certain protocols.

  • In accordance with University policy, face masks must be worn at all times by unvaccinated individuals.
  • We ask that visitors wash their hands prior to entry to protect people and our material. 
  • Upon arrival researchers will be asked to complete a registration form with their contact information and the date/time of their visit. 
  • All requested items will be waiting for the patron at a designated place in the reading room. Additional requests may require further appointments, depending on the storage location of the items.

We will welcome in-person classes again beginning in the fall 2021, although virtual sessions are still possible. To schedule an in-person or virtual instruction session, please submit this form.
