The Special Collections reading room is open to all visitors. Appointments are currently required with 24-hours advanced notice to ensure that limited research space is available, and so we can have requested collection materials prepared prior to your arrival. Information about collection materials can be found in our catalog<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0archival finding aid<\/a>\u00a0systems.<\/p>\r\n

Special Collections is located on the 2nd floor of the MD Anderson Library<\/a> on the University of Houston’s main campus. For off-campus visitors, the recommended parking option is the Welcome Center Garage at 4434 University Drive, but metered parking may also be available. Information on the Welcome Center Garage and walking directions to MD Anderson Library can be found here<\/a>. Guidance on reading room policies and procedures can be found below<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
