McCormick Hall will be undergoing renovation for construction of the new Princeton University Art Museum until the Museum opens in March 2025. Marquand Library’s physical collections are currently available only by advanced request via the library catalog for consultation in two temporary reading rooms in Firestone Library, C Floor. Visitors should reach out regarding collection access via our main email address under Contact Us. Please note, requests to consult material require a minimum of one week (oversized materials, i.e. Folios and Elephants Folios, require two weeks). Click here for a Video Tour of our reading rooms; the Floor plans link under Quick Links provides additional information.
