SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT

Scheduling an in-person research appointment is required. We are currently open for research appointments on Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Although many of our collections have been digitized, several are stored in an off-site facility and we require at least two weeks to ensure the collection you need can be delivered in time for your appointment. Please email jhcreference@nehgs.org or call 617-226-1245 for more information and to schedule your appointment.
