During COVID-19 in 2021, the archives started expanding their hours with precautions. Some of these included wearing face masks, easy access to hand sanitizers, and plexiglass barriers. Appointments were no longer required. This was implemented across all three archives sites. Researchers were also asked to wear masks and not visit if sick.
