E-mail Reference Service
Please use this form
to send an online reference request to the Manuscripts and Archives Division.
- Mail and e-mail requests are generally answered in the order in which
they are received -- e-mail requests are not given priority.
- Although we are happy to answer questions about our collections, the Manuscripts
and Archives Division does not have sufficient staff to perform extensive
research on your behalf. Please contact the Library's fee-based information
service, NYPL Express, if you
require this kind of assistance.
- For pre-paging of collection materials, we recommend that you speak with
a Manuscripts Specialist by telephone at (212) 930-0801 during reading room
hours. If you must place a paging request by e-mail, please do so at least
24 hours in advance of your expected arrival. If you do not receive a prompt
response to your e-mail message, please phone the reading room to make sure
that your request was received.
- Answers to many questions can be found by consulting CATNYP
and our collections
list.
