McGill University Archives
The McGill University Archives' new reference room
We have moved! Our reference room has been relocated to the Rare Books and Special Collections Reading Room on the fourth floor of the McLennan Library Building. Please note that our phone number has also changed. The Archives can now be reached at 514-398-4711.
We recommend that you make an appointment prior to your visit. This can be done by emailing our Reference Desk at refdesk [dot] archives [at] mcgill [dot] ca.
We look forward to serving you in our new space.
