The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts offers on-site access to the Charles K. MacDonald Reading Room by appointment on weekdays between 10am and 4pm. Researchers should email kislak@pobox.upenn.edu at least 24 hours in advance to set up appointments and provide information on the material needed. 

Access to non-circulating and special collections material at the Kislak Center is available through digital reprographic scanning. Patrons can place digital reprographic scanning orders via the Aeon request system. We will digitize up to 100 pages of collection material free of charge. Please note: Reprographic requests for instruction-related and grant-required needs will be prioritized.

Additional information about remote instructional services, as well as online resources for teaching and research, can be found in these Resources for Remote Learning.
