Requesting Access to Archival Materials
Where possible, the Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center will provide links to digitized archival materials that have already been made available via Albert, the Institute for Advanced Study's online repository for digital materials. For researchers seeking access to materials that have not yet been digitized, the Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center is pleased to provide researchers access to materials by facilitating both in-person visits and digital requests.
The Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center is open daily from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for researchers to schedule appointments to access materials. For researchers that are not able to travel to the Archives Center in-person, we are also happy to offer our assistance in providing digital reproductions of archival materials on demand.
Researchers that would like to schedule an appointment to visit our reading room or request scans of holdings are welcome to contact the Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center at archives@ias.edu.
