SC&A has a reading room, providing a quiet haven
for serious research. Most materials may be photocopied, either by
the researcher or by staff, depending on the nature of the item. Telephone,
mail, or e-mail requests for photocopies and photographs are handled
for a fee on a prepaid basis. Tours can be arranged for small groups,
and speakers are available upon request.
Researchers may have electronic access to collections
in SC&A via Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aids/research
guides. Also, parts of several collections have been digitized and
are available at a researcher's online desktop computer via SC&A's
Digitized
Collections page.
Special Collections & Archives is located in C-201
Fenwick Library at George Mason University's Fairfax, Virginia Campus.
