Requesting a Research Visit

Our Reading Room is a great place to work: let us help you make the most of your time there.

The Reading Room at the Moravian Archives is open by appointment only, Monday-Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., with a break for lunch.

Appointments are required for in-house researchers. To request an appointment:

  1. You must complete the Research Appointment Request Form at least three business days before you plan to visit the Moravian Archives Reading Room in person.
  2. On this form, you will be able to indicate which day(s) and time(s) you wish to visit, as well as what collection materials you are interested in for your research. If the materials you want to use are described in our finding aids database, you may also submit requests there, but this is a request for material only and will not schedule you for an appointment to view the materials.
  3. A confirmation email will follow within the next business day with additional information. Your appointment is not confirmed until you have received this email.
  4. You will be able to discuss your research needs with Archives staff as needed after your appointment has been confirmed.
  5. Review “Preparing For Your Scheduled Research Visit” for more details about your visit.
