Brooklyn College Archives, 2900 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The Archives is open to CUNY students, faculty, and staff on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10 am to 4:45 pm by appointment only.  Please send us an email to schedule an appointment. 

Due to the COVID-19 related closure of the Brooklyn College campus, there is a substantial backlog of unanswered reference inquiries.  With the fall 2021 reopening of the Library, staff can now begin to research and respond to these questions.  

If you have a question regarding our archival collections, please send us an email. Currently, we cannot predict response times since we have limited staff on campus.  Your patience is greatly appreciated.
