Primary Source Research

The New School Archives & Special Collections offers orientations to archival research for all academic levels and university divisions.

We also lead workshops in primary source research, and work with faculty to develop subject-specific group and solo assignments using archival and special collections materials, including artists' books and early periodicals.

Please be aware that there is a limit of 15 visitors at one time in the archives.
