Research

OPUS welcomes visiting guests and researchers. The collections are non-circulating. Please note that we require at least two weeks notice in order to schedule a research visit in the archives, and that information regarding interest and subject matter to be reviewed is necessary to plan a visit.

Preparing for Scholar’s Visit

For a scholar’s visit, we need time to prepare and to do our research so you can do yours! Our staff makes every effort to design the research experience for optimum productivity and efficiency. To prepare for your visit:

  • Collections

    The Collections page includes biographical information about the scholars, their published works, and the scope of the collection.

  • Online Databases

    Online Databases include Archives and Manuscripts, for individual or cross-collection results in the Archives, as well as for personal reference libraries of James Campbell and Marija Gimbutas.

  • Collection Organization

    When using these search tools, note that collections may be organized thematically, by titles of works, or both. For example, Catal Huyuk may be a theme you wish to explore, or you may wish to look at the research notes for the publication Re-Visioning Psychology.

Once you begin to get a sense of what you need, contact the Archivist at info (at) opusarchives.org and we will begin working on research possibilities prior to your visit to the archives.
