Beginning April 13, 2022, all researchers will need to have a HOLLIS Special Request account to request Schlesinger Library materials. HOLLIS Special Request is available to Harvard and non-Harvard researchers and can be used at any participating Harvard library or archives. This account allows you to place and manage your requests for access to Schlesinger Library’s materials – learn more in the Requesting Materials guide. If you have questions, please reach out through the Ask a Schlesinger Librarian webform.
Please note: Submitting a request through HOLLIS Special Request does not guarantee that your materials will be available on your selected visit date.
