Doing research at the
Cuban Heritage Collection
Are you planning a visit to the Cuban Heritage Collection? Before you come, here are some suggestions to help you make the most of your time with us.
Visit our website. There you will find information about our hours, collections, and search tools. You can also pre-register for a Research Account and submit requests for materials you want to use.
Get familiar with our Reading Room regulations. These are available on the "Planning Your Visit" page on our website and on the second page of our CHC Quick Guide. Reviewing these before you visit will help you know what to expect. For example, for security and preservation purposes, we only allow loose paper, pencils, and laptop computers at our Reading Room tables and provide lockers where you can store other personal belongings. And if you will be conducting research over several days, we will hold up to six volumes of books or periodicals and up to three boxes of manuscript collections for you.
Check out our Research Tips. We have compiled various tips for conducting research in a special collection like ours. While not all of these resources are specific to the Cuban Heritage Collection, you will find them useful in preparing for your time with us.
Let us know when you're coming. Send us an email or call us before your arrival date to request a visitor's pass. This will also give us a chance to review any requests you may have already placed and prepare them for when you arrive. Our Reading Room staff is ready to help orient you to our collections and services, but we encourage you to make an appointment with one of our librarians for a research consultation.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Please be in touch if you have any questions. We are here to help you.
