The Women & Leadership Archives (WLA) is open to the public for research. Appointments are encouraged, but not required. Phone, email, and fax inquiries are also welcomed.
Materials are made available to researchers in the reading room of the WLA on the third floor of Piper Hall. Because archival materials are often unique and fragile, they do not circulate. All reading room rules are designed to protect materials for future use, thus no pens, food or drink are allowed.
For security purposes, the reading room is under electronic surveillance.
Photo Duplication:
Photocopying is available for $.25 per page, plus postage and handling if mailed ($5.00 minimum). Copies of entire books, manuscript collections, or record groups is not allowed. Scanned images, including all photographs, costs $1.00 per scan and can be emailed to one email address one time. If saved to a disk, each CD is $5.00 in addition to the cost of scanning and/or mailing.
All photocopying and scanning is done by WLA staff only. Digital photography is allowed on a case by case basis and only with prior permission of the WLA Director. Professional photographic reproductions may be ordered, but only through the WLA preferred local vendor.
The WLA reserves the right to restrict or refuse reproduction of materials due to condition, size, donor requirements, or copyright law.
PERMISSION TO PUBLISH:
Permission to use archival materials in publications must be obtained from the Director of the Women & Leadership Archives prior to publication. Users are responsible for observing United States Copyright Law. Special fees may apply for use. Please consult the Director for further information.
Location:
The Women and Leadership Archives and the Mundelein College Archives are located together with the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership in Piper Hall on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola University Chicago. Piper Hall is on the Lake Shore Campus map directly west of Mundelein Center on the Southeast end of the campus. To get to the Archives, enter the west door of Piper Hall, walk up to the second floor, and take the elevator from there to the third floor. There is a ramp at the west door. Please contact the Women and Leadership Archives if you would like to arrange to take an elevator from the first floor instead of the stairs or for any questions regarding access.
For more information, including directions and parking, please refer to the Loyola University Lake Shore Campus Guide. Please contact the Women and Leadership Archives if you have any additional questions.
