Unfortunately, given logistical and staffing constraints, we cannot accommodate unannounced walk-ins. 

All access to materials at OLAL will be by appointment only. 

SCHEDULING A VISIT TO THE OLAL

Individual Researchers

Researchers who wish to visit OLAL must notify LAL staff by noon of the previous day if they intend to visit OLAL on Wednesdays or Fridays. They may do so via e-mail at LAL@tulane.edu (preferred) or by calling the LAL office main phone line (504)865-5681. If anyone wishes to visit on a Monday, they must notify LAL staff by the previous Friday at 4:00pm. This applies to everyone, whether you use LAL transportation or provide your own. 

Class or group visits

Group visits and classroom sessions involving the special collections will continue as in the past. It will just involve a little more planning. Please contact us at LAL@tulane.edu to arrange a session. We will need at least two weeks’ notice.
