Archives & Special Collections staff are here to assist you in accessing material in the collection. To schedule a research appointment please contact Archives & Special Collections at (210) 784-1512 or archives@tamusa.edu.
Appointments are generally made at between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made via email at archives@tamusa.edu or by calling (210) 784-1512.
Bring a jacket. The air is maintained at a cool temperature in order to preserve the archival materials.
Be prepared to read and sign the A&SC use policies, including but not limited to the Research Policy & Reading Room Rules. Personal bags and backpacks must be kept off to the side while materials are in use. No collection materials leave the Reading Room.
When making your appointment, know what items you want to view by checking the library catalog, or our collection finding aids. If you are not sure about specific titles or documents but have a topic, staff can help you determine which items in the collection might be useful.
Plan ahead if you need a parking pass. We recommend the visitor daily parking permit.
