Research
The Research Center is a non-circulating library, archive, and photo archive with collections available for onsite use as well as digitized materials available online.
RESEARCH CENTER IS NOW CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION.
The closure is necessary to allow staff time to prepare the collections for the renovation work that will occur in 2023 and 2024 in the Veterans and Pioneers Memorial Building.
During the closure, any research using original, non-digital archives or library collections will not be possible. However, online resources will be available, including historic newspapers, as well as all collections found on the Montana Memory Project. Limited remote research services will also be available. The Research Center will re-open in early 2025. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please direct questions to mhslibrary@mt.gov.
