In response to the COVID-19 emergency, the offices of the Archives are closed and staff are not accessing the physical collections.  If you have a research question, you may use the Archives’ Research Request Form to send it to our attention where it will be placed in a queue for future response.  Please consult the Digital Archives and other resources on the website for key governance information. All inquiries will be noted and we will endeavor to respond after the staff return to the Archives.

Non-research and non-reference questions may be sent through the Archives' Contact Form.  We wish everyone the very best in these challenging times and look forward to having the Archives research desk restored as soon as safely possible.
