Visit

Special Collections & Archives welcomes visitors and researchers.  We are open not only to the Wesleyan community but to the general public as well.

Stop in for a brief introduction to our resources, ask a question, or view an exhibit, or stay longer to attend an event, research your paper, thesis, or book, or bring your class.
