Question:

I am not affiliated with Columbia University. How can I get research assistance?

Answer:

Scholars and researchers with research-related questions about materials unique to Columbia University Libraries may send email to reference@columbia.edu.

We will not provide financial, legal, or medical advice.

Local libraries are recommended as rich resources of information and can provide assistance using interlibrary loan and other document delivery services.
