Where is the ARCC facility located?
Western Archives is located in the Archives and Research Collections Centre (ARCC) which is adjacent to The D. B. Weldon Library. Although much of the
facility is accessible only to staff, Western Archives has a public Reading Room that is accessible from the reference hall of The D. B Weldon Library.
The public reading room is used to consult material from the Talman Regional Collection, The Benson Special Collection and Western Archives. Low and
medium use library materials are requested through the Shared Library Catalogue and sent to a pick up location specified by the requestor. In addition to its
extensive collection resources, the Reading Room includes wireless capability, a mircoform reader printer, a photocopier and access to the Shared Library
Catalogue via a PC and a SunRay.
