Scholars from all disciplines are welcome to study the Museum of Art and Archaeology’s (MA&A) collections and associated records. Some materials may be unavailable for study, for example, objects on loan, on exhibit, those in the process of conservation, or currently in use by other researchers.
Application
Researchers are asked to submit a completed Form to Request Access to Collections to the MA&A’s Registrar four weeks before the proposed research visit. All requests are subject to curatorial review and availability of staff and workspace.

Image Use
The MA&A accepts requests to use and reproduce material in its collections or for which it holds copyright. Publication of any material requires written permission from the MA&A and any holders of the copyright where necessary. Fees for images are determined according to the intended use, and by the availability of images. Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
For general inquiries please contact the Registrar. Complete, sign and submit an Image Use Request form to the Registrar. This form also provides the terms and conditions for image use.
