Please complete the form for an archives research request. The more specific you are in your request the better. Hours for in-person research are by appointment only.

All requests are attended to in the order in which they are received. Please allow up to two weeks for a response. Archivists do not conduct research on behalf of users, assist in the interpretation of any data, or curate exhibits for individual departments.

External researchers must receive permission from the current department head for departmental records that are less than 20 years old. Records containing Protected Health Information (PHI) are restricted according to HIPAA regulations.

The Archives does not handle patient or physician requests for medical records; contact Medical Records at 617-355-7546.
