Regular service hours are Monday - Friday, 10 am to 5 pm.
Service hours may be affected by special events or holidays. Check the Department's blog, Gelman Library's hours page, or call the Special Collections Research Center's main phone line (202-994-7549) to confirm service hours before planning a research trip.
Researchers unable to visit during regular hours may contact the Public Services Librarian to request an appointment outside regular service hours. The department's ability to offer such appointments is limited and depends on staff availability.
