NOTE: From April 1st to September 1st, Peel’s exhibitions, workshops, and drop-in services are suspended to allow the team to focus on back end operations. During this time, limited remote research services continue to be available and there is a very limited capacity to accommodate the most urgent requests from researchers who need to view rare print materials and simply cannot wait until the fall term begins. Thank you for your understanding. More information here
