Archives: Access

important notice REGARDING TEMPORARY CLOSURE:

The Archives is temporarily closed and will reopen at Bata Library in late September/early October, 2018. Archival holdings and special collections are unavailable during this closure period. Upon reopening, we will respond to research and other queries as soon as possible. Please refer to this page for updates.
(Note: In 2017, the Archives was temporarily relocated to various sites to make way for a major transformation project in the Bata Library. The return to Bata will take place over the course of the closure period.)
