Thank you for your interest in our archival collections. The Glenn Curtis Smoot Library and Archives welcomes researchers to conduct first-hand research into the history of the Chippewa Valley. The Library and Archives are home to thousands of photographs, manuscripts, books, oral histories, research files, and more, which provide insight into a wide variety of historical subjects.

By filling out the following Research Request Form, you help ensure that Chippewa Valley Museum staff best serve your research needs. After reviewing the form, CVM staff will contact you within two business days to schedule an appointment in the library. (Appointments will be scheduled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday, depending on staff availability.)
