Our Archives

Use of the archive

Our archives are open and free for academic researchers, professional publicity staff and for those conducting private studies, as well as those preparing their own exhibitions. We are open to all parties and try to help you find the easiest and most effective access possible to our archives.

Our collection is distributed between several locations. We request that you register with us in advance so that we can reserve a viewing station or workstation in our reading room.

Prior to your visit, please be sure to review the options for viewing items from the collection as certain individual objects or archives may be restricted or completely unavailable at present for conservation or legal reasons.
