Updates Regarding COVID-19

Updated July 27, 2020, 3:14 pm

The Newberry will remain closed until further notice. We will continually monitor updates from public health officials as we prepare to ensure a safe environment for visitors in the Newberry’s reading rooms, exhibition galleries, and event spaces. Our highest priority is the health and safety of Newberry staff, researchers, and visitors.

While we are closed, we’ll continue to support your research, teaching, and learning by providing free access to our collections and digital resources online. You can:

• Browse, study, and remix more than 1 million digital images from our collection online
• Consult our digital resources for students, teachers, and scholars
• Attend virtual public programs (information about upcoming events is included in the Newberry e-news)
• Join our corps of online volunteers and help transcribe letters and diaries from our archival collections
• Email reference@newberry.org with questions related to your research
