To view the current exhibition (The Science and Engineering of Machines: An Exhibition of Machine Books, 1472 to 1800), drop by during regular drop-in hours (Wednesday through Friday afternoons) or write to us at bpsc@ualberta.ca to schedule a Monday-afternoon group visit. For further information, learn about Peel's past exhibitions and many award-winning publications or check out Peel's digital exhibitions.
To sign up for a Peel Workshop, see Peel Workshops on the Peel library's website.
To view rare materials held in Bruce Peel Special Collections, please write to us at bpsc@ualberta.ca to request a research 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. The Finding and Requesting Peel Library Materials section of the website is a good starting place.
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's Digital Collections). 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. Regardless of when 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.
