Thank you for your interest in FIT Library Special Collections and College Archives! Please provide us with the information requested in this form, and we will reach out to you to schedule a research appointment for you.

We hold research hours in set time-blocks of three hours. Please consult our website's front page for our current schedule. Note that our schedule changes every semester.

If you wish to view items in other areas of the FIT Library, and are not currently an FIT student, faculty, or staff member, you will have to make a separate appointment. Information about that can be found by clicking this link.

Due to staffing changes, SPARC will not be hosting researchers over the summer, 2024. If you will be traveling internationally and wish to visit us, or have a deadline of concern, please fill out this form and someone will reach out to you.
