Resources for Researchers

If you are a researcher who would like to examine the bonds in person, please contact the Museum Director to arrange a visit to the W.M. Keck Museum’s archives located on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Due to the fragility and collectability of the items in this collection, all researchers must complete a registration form and provide a photo ID. Food, drink, pens, backpacks, and other personal belongings are not allowed in the research area. Researchers will be instructed on the proper handling of documents.
