Remodeled Manuscript Reading |
During the six-month refurbishing of the Reading Room, staff provided temporary work areas for patrons in the BGC Wilson Suite and when that was not available, in the archival office. Researchers came from twenty-nine states as well as Canada, China, Germany, Korea, Lebanon, Norway, and the United Kingdom. For detailed Reading Room statistics click here. |
