Helpful Information

• The finding aids for the collections are on the website and can be consulted prior to a research visit.  If you know the collection or specific boxes you would like to see, please let the library staff know in advance and the materials can be pulled before your arrival.
• In addition to manuscript collections, the library also has a large collection of photographs, posters, and maps.  Of particular interest to researchers is the Marshall Foundation National Archives Project.  This collection contains almost 1 million pages of copied material from the National Archives and was created to augment George C. Marshall's personal papers.
