William Munroe Special Collections 2026 Hours

Starting January 2026, William Munroe Special Collections will be open Tuesday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM.

Special Collections' new hours will provide archival staff dedicated time to focus on essential behind-the-scenes work that makes research possible: processing newly acquired materials, preserving fragile analog items, improving digital collections, enhancing descriptions, and addressing backlogs that limit access. These efforts ensure that more of our holdings are discoverable, usable, and available to the public—both now and in the future. We appreciate your understanding and support as we make this investment in the long-term accessibility and care of the collections you value.

If you need to reach archival staff outside of open hours, you can email speccoll@minlib.net.
