Local museums and archives

It's a good idea to read over the materials on the organization's website first, and perhaps contact them to set up an appointment. Some provide limited access to their archives, and/or may suggest times to meet with knowledgable staff.

If I'm not available, we have many ways you can get help. You can contact librarians individually for appointments in-person or via email. You are welcome to contact any of my colleagues at the reference desk: 425-352-3146. We also have an e-mail reference service that can answer your questions within one or two working days. You can also try Q&A Live, a collaborative digital reference service that allows you to "chat" with a librarian in real time using your computer.
