This page will provide information about accessing physical archival material. Due to copyright, the majority of MacLean cannot be digitized and is only accessible physically on site.
If you need access to archival material from MacLean that is not digitized, we offer access to physical collections through limited scanning requests and general reference help. If you cannot come to Chicago to use materials in person, email us at archive@meadville.edu and we will do what we can to assist.
The Meadville Lombard Archives and Special Collections is located right in the center of Chicago's downtown in the Loop neighborhood. We are open 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday by appointment. For researchers traveling to Chicago, we have special room rates at local hotels. Due to building security, all archive visits must be scheduled ahead of time. To arrange a visit, email us at archives@meadville.edu with the dates and times you want to visit and the collections you would like to use.
If you have any questions about the Meadville Lombard Archives and Special Collections, just ask!
