Please note: the Archives are currently open on a limited basis while we continue to unpack  and reshelve the collections in our Capital Gallery location.  Some materials may not yet be accessible and available for research.

Jeff Place and Stephanie Smith are the archivists. The Archives' contact information is below. Please make an appointment if you wish to conduct research in the Rinzler Archives, and let us know what materials you are interested in so we can determine if they are available.
