Introduction to Special Collections In-Person

This session is geared towards students of all levels who are interested in using material from NYU Special Collections but are unsure how to begin. We’ll discuss what types of materials and content you can find, demonstrate how to find material in the catalog and archival search portal, walk through the basic anatomy of a finding aid, and explain how to access the web archives. You’ll also learn how to activate your Special Collections Research Account and how to schedule an appointment to visit.

This workshop will meet in Bobst Library, 2nd Floor, Room 251.
