Services, Forms & Fees
Archives underpin virtually all other aspects of heritage. They support the work of educators, students, historians, journalists, filmmakers, urban planners, marketers and salespeople, the publishing industry, archaeologists, engineers, genealogists, the built heritage community, museum workers, lifelong learners, immigrants, cultural groups, and tourism operators.
If you’re faculty in an academic unit and would like to tour your class through the collections, a student needing digital content for a major research project, or a producer working on your next film, we are available to assist you with your research and digital content needs. The Beaton Institute contains over 4000 textual collections, 500,000 photographs, 10,000 audio and video tapes, 3500 maps, several dozen newspapers, as well as thousands of rare, local, and out-of-print publications.
