About:

The Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections & University Archives is open to the public and our collections are non-circulating. Appointments are preferred.

See our Plan a Visit page for more information.

To view collection materials in-person or to receive reproductions, all patrons must first register and create a user account in the McCormick Library Request System.

Use your account to request materials through the online catalog and to keep a record of your transactions. When materials are ready for viewing, you will receive a link via email to book your appointment.

For alternative access options, including digital reproductions and remote options contact specialcollections@northwestern.edu.
