Pitts is conducting on-demand digitization of these materials for many patron requests. For information about that service, please contact pittssc@emory.edu. If digitization is not sufficient for research needs, researchers can make reservations to view materials in the Special Collections Reading Room, Monday through Friday, 10am-4pm. For details and to make a reservation, visit pitts.emory.edu/collections.
