Using The Library Collection

The collections are open by appointment to all researchers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday except holidays, free of charge. Researchers are encouraged to make appointments in advance with the librarian, Elizabeth Ihrig, at 612-926-3878, ext. 227, or via e-mail using her last name @thebakken.org.  Books from the library do not circulate.  Reference service to researchers unable to come to the library is provided by telephone, email, mail, and fax.  For a modest fee, limited numbers of photocopies, scans, or photographs may be made, provided it can be done without damaging the book or item and the request complies with the copyright law.

There are several finding aids to the library collection that researchers may consult.  In the library itself is a card catalog that may be searched by author, title, subject, added entry, and date of publication.  There is also an inventory of the ephemera collection and a listing of journal titles and holdings.
