There is a scheduled upgrade to the archives collections search database. This upgrade will bring our database to the newest version and will include new search and reporting features. There will also be a new homepage and additional content such as a revised search guide, glossary and guide to archival description. The upgrade will take place on Friday, June 29 from 8:30 am until 1:00 pm. During this time the database will be inaccessible. The reference room will be open for regular hours but service will be limited during this time. Service should return to normal by 1:00 pm the same day.
