Before arriving at the Hargrett Library, researchers are advised to familiarize themselves with the guidelines for the use of the collections and to contact the department (706-542-7123) so we may fully assess your research needs. Some materials are restricted or closed to use due to donor agreement or other considerations, another reason advanced consultation is advised.

We also encourage patrons to at least review the research application form before visiting, so they may know what kind of information they will need to provide in order to use the material.
