The Wade Center accepts short reference questions relating to our collections, services, publications, the works and lives of the seven Wade authors, and other related topics. Due to limited staff resources, we are unable to assist with questions requiring extensive research. We encourage individuals to visit the Wade Center and conduct in-depth research in person.
Please include any specifics which will aid us in answering your question, such as: your contact information, how the information provided by Wade staff will be used, sources you have already consulted, and specific terms, dates, etc. relating to your topic. Reference questions are answered in the order they are received. Responses to questions are generally sent within a few days from the time they are received, depending on staff availability.
