COMMUNITY RESEARCH ACCESS DAYS
Community Research Days are reserved for students and community members needing to access our materials. For commercial researchers or consultants, please visit https://sandiegohistory.org/research_services/
Community members and students have the opportunity to physically access the Research Archives four times per year during one of the scheduled Community Research Access Days.

Community Research Day Saturday 7 OCTOBER 2023
The San Diego History Center is happy to welcome community researchers to our Special Collections!
- If you must cancel your spot, please let us know as soon as possible so we may designate your spot to someone on the waiting list.
- Community Research Days are meant to provide broad physical access to the Research Archives regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. A three-hour research period would normally cost $270. These sessions are available for a suggested $20 donation, which helps ensure the sustainability of the History Center to preserve the collections.
