Request from a Collection guide

Using Library Search, find the item you would like to request 

  1. Click on the record to open it
  2. Under View Online click on Collection Guide. 
  3. A new tab will open in your browser showing you the collection guide in the Online Archive of California.
  4. Look through the Collection guide and determine if you want to request anything
  5. When you are ready to request boxes click on the Request Items box. 
  6. The Collection guide will change to a page where you can click on the boxes you wish to view. 
  • You are limited to ten active requests at a time. We give you the entire box to view in the reading room. Ignore the folder numbers and request by the box in order to maximize the boxes you can view. In other words just click one box if all of the contents you want to see are in the same box.
