Olmsted Archives to Close Temporarily After August 2010
In the fall of 2010, the Olmsted Archives will temporarily close to research access as the staff moves the collection back to Fairsted. Archives staff will need several months to carefully pack, move and unpack the vast array of items in the museum, ranging from Olmsted business and design-related records to historic office furniture, equipment and framed items. For this reason, after August 2010 there will be a delay in answers to requests for information and, unfortunately, the Archives will not be able to schedule appointments for several months.
