COMMUNITY RESEARCH ACCESS DAYS
Instructions for registering for a Community Research Day:
- Do not enter your email address unless you are already a member of the History Center. You will be prompted to enter information on another page.
- You do not have to select a membership level from the drop down menu.
- Please choose a date at the top. Each event has multiple dates, and each date will be highlighted in the calendar when you click on the date on the top of the registration page. Navigate to the appropriate date and select it.
- Please note that researchers are limited to one ticket per registrant. Each researcher will have to register separately.

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.
