Visiting the Collections
Community members are welcome to use the Special Collections Reading Room at Johns Hopkins, and to visit Black Panther materials in person.
The hours for the Special Collections & University Archives Reading Room are listed on the location page for Brody Learning Commons.
Many of our items are held offsite, and require time to bring to our reading room for use. Special Collections and Archives uses the Aeon system to register researchers and help them request materials and schedule visits. We ask that researchers register with Aeon in advance of their visit. You do not need to be affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University to use the system.
