Research Policy
Museum Collections
The FAC Museum is committed to supporting research and scholarship based on our collection.
It is fundamental to the Museum’s mission to provide access to the Museum’s collection and promote appreciation of its significance. The Museum will support continuing scholarly investigation and research in order to document, publish, and advance the understanding of the Museum’s collections, as well as contribute to broader academic and public discourses. Individuals such as professors, students, scholars, and researchers may request access to objects in the collection for research purposes.
Standard days and times for collections access are: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons from 12:30-4:30 p.m. View all guidelines
