Houghton Library Answers

Houghton Library is free and open to all who wish to use the library’s collections.

Although it is not required, please consider wearing a face mask in the library.

While our exhibits and collections are available without an appointment, if you wish to use our reading room, we encourage you to register in advance via HOLLIS Special Request.

Please note that the building hours and reading room hours are not the same. Please check our open hours here.

If you have a research question, or you're not sure how to access our collections, please submit a question.
