Archives Reference and Research Submission Form

Please submit one specific research question per form.

If you have multiple questions, submit separate requests.

Archives staff assist with identifying materials. We do not conduct extensive research. Assistance is capped at 30 minutes maximum.

Priority is given to the RPI community.

We make every attempt to answer requests during these hours:
Monday, Wednesday & Thursday
10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 1:00–3:00 p.m.

Non-RPI researchers can expect a response within 2–3 weeks.
