PLEASE NOTE: In preparation for a significant construction and renovation project that will prepare the Hoover Institution for its second century of activities, the Library & Archives reading room will be closed to researchers until the early months of 2020. During this period, our collections will be unavailable, but our collecting, exhibition program, and other activities will continue. Staff will continue to respond to reference inquiries and process duplication orders during this time and can scan a limited amount of material on researchers' behalf.
Information regarding the announcement can be read here.
