Reference Policies

It is the policy of Special Collections to provide reference assistance to the extent that we are able within the following guidelines:

  • Researchers are welcome to visit the Albion College Archives and the United Methodist Church West Michigan Conference (UMC WMC) Archives by appointment in order to perform their own research. You must contact the Archivist at least 48 hours in advance of your visit. At times it may be necessary to wait longer for a visit, depending on the Archivist's schedule and the availability of materials.

    Special Collections staff will provide reference assistance and retrieve necessary items from the Collection for the researcher free of charge.
    You can contact the Archivist to schedule an appointment by phone at 517.629.0487; E-mail at archives@albion.edu; or AOL Instant Messenger at albionarchref.
     

  • For those researchers unable to visit the collections in person, Special Collections staff can provide up to 30 minutes of research time and a report of findings free of charge. Please allow at least 8-10 weeks for a response due to the number of reference questions received and other duties associated with the managements and operation of the unit.
     

  • For more in-depth reference requests, Special Collections charges a fee of $20.00 for every hour spent on a request beyond the first free 30 minutes of research.
