Where
you'll do your research:
The Robert Delaney Southwest Research
Library
Click here for the open
hours and any closed dates. For access during other
hours, contact the staff ahead of time to make arrangements
by appointment. Due to state-wide
budget constraints, we anticipate that the summer (May - August) hours for the
galleries and the Delaney Library may be curtailed. If making plans for
visiting during those months, please contact the Center staff well in advance so
that we may best serve you.
For more information, contact the reference librarian or the archivist. Click here to use our E-mail Reference Request Form. The Center does not have a budget for outgoing long-distance phone calls to answer reference requests, so if you do not provide an email address for our response you will need to be willing to accept a collect call from the Center.
How to do research here:
There are several ways to
access descriptions of Center of Southwest Studies special collections on the
Web. Some information is available available in
Special Collections and
Information for Researchers, but for
general research (especially if you are using the 16,000 books in the Delaney
Research Library) the most powerful method is to use the Talon the Library
on-line catalog. Most of the Center's holdings--not just the books--are
listed in this on-line catalog.
