The Newberry collection is a portal to more than six centuries of human history, from the Middle Ages to the present.
The Newberry welcomes researchers who are at least 14 years old or in the ninth grade. All requests for Newberry materials are made through Aeon, our online request system.
Following guidance from the City of Chicago, we are not requiring visitors to wear masks or show proof of vaccination.
The Newberry provides a range of digital resources including guides, image galleries and exhibitions, databases, and electronic journals.
The Newberry’s research centers sponsor consortia, seminars, workshops, and other programs.
The Newberry collections focus on various subjects within the humanities. Consult our online catalog and modern manuscripts.
