What to Expect When You Visit the Archives
You’ll have the help of one of our many knowledgeable volunteers to help you search through our collections and help you find what you’re looking for. However, it is most helpful for our staff and volunteers if you know what you’re looking for when you visit us. Knowing the names you’re looking for and the types of records would be great! But if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, that’s okay! We’re here to help you find all that we have.
- You will be assisted in your research by knowledgeable research assistants.
- You will have access to our total range of collections.
- You will be able to download information to thumb drives from microfilm.
- You can purchase copies of photographs in our extensive collection.
- You will find accessible parking and entry at the rear of the building.
