Research Appointments at the Conjuring Arts Research Center

Thank you for your interest in conducting research at the Conjuring Arts Research Center. The Conjuring Arts library operates on a closed-stack system: this means we don’t allow browsing of our shelves. What we do allow however, are prearranged research appointments. If you are interested in arranging a research appointment, please send a brief proposal to librarian@conjuringarts.org. The proposal should include the following:

1. Project goals

2. A list of up to 5 texts you plan on using. Our online catalog is accessible at http://www.conjuringlibrary.net/newopc/simplesrch.asp.

3. End uses of the research

This will be reviewed by the librarian and sent to the Board for approval. If approved, an appointment will be scheduled at a time that is mutually convenient . Please allow at least two weeks for the arrangement of an appointment.

A few notes on the actual research appointment:
-All appointments last two hours
-Current photo ID must be presented at the beginning of the appointment
-Bags and backpacks must be left with the librarian at the beginning of the appointment
-You are welcome to use a personal laptop during your appointment
-Pencils are the only writing instrument allowed
-No food or beverages are allowed in the library
