Visiting the Collection

Can researchers walk in to access the collection?
Yes, we offer walk-in access to our general research collections, including audio and moving image materials, on the third floor of the Library for the Performing Arts.  Our circulating collections are available on the first and second floors of the Library. 

Researchers may access our special collections in the Special Collections Reading Room by emailing dance@nypl.org or by booking a virtual consultation with one of our librarians, who will make an appointment for you to visit the Library for the Performing Arts.  A limited number of same-day walk-in appointments may be available for special collections material.

Book a Virtual Consultation

 

What else do researchers need to know about accessing the collection?
To borrow circulating material or access general collections items, patrons will need a Library card.  To access special collections materials at the Library for the Performing Arts, patrons will also need to sign up for a Special Collections account.
