Peel's hours and services
HOURS & SERVICES AT BRUCE PEEL SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
LIMITED SUMMER SERVICE (April through August)
Peel’s exhibitions, workshops, and drop-in services are suspended to allow the team to focus on back end operations. Limited remote research services continue to be available and there is a very limited capacity to accommodate the most urgent requests from researchers who need to view rare print materials and simply cannot wait until the fall term begins. NOTE: During this summer period, non-circulating materials housed at RCRF or that have been brought in via Interlibrary Loan can only be used in the reading room at U of A Archives.

Research appointments: To view rare materials held in Bruce Peel Special Collections, please write to us at bpsc@ualberta.ca to request an appointment well in advance, listing the requested materials including author, title, and call number for each item, and offering some date options. We book research appointments during the regular academic year, September-March, on a first-come, first-served basis, so there may be a delay, but we will do our best to be accommodating. Standard reading room policies and protocols, designed to protect rare materials, are in force.
Remote Research Services: The Peel team serves researchers' needs remotely by answering questions about rare materials, providing researchers with images of materials not otherwise available (whenever possible), and providing links to digital resources that may help to meet current research and teaching needs (see "Peel materials online"). If you have questions that relate to materials housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections, you can send us an email at bpsc@ualberta.ca.
Visiting Researchers: If you are planning to travel to the Edmonton area to carry out research at Bruce Peel Special Collections, we strongly recommend that you do so during the regular academic year to avoid our limited summer service period. Whenever you plan to visit, it is important to contact us at bpsc@ualberta.ca well in advance so that we have every opportunity to accommodate your needs.
Like other locations of the University of Alberta Library, Bruce Peel Special Collections is open to all researchers, including faculty, staff, students, and members of the general public.
