Contacts

CORSAIR, and the collection information contained in CORSAIR records, are works in progress. We welcome questions and comments about both.

Please write to corsair@themorgan.org with questions or comments about using CORSAIR (search techniques, displays, navigation within the catalog).

For questions about collection items, see the list of curatorial contacts and library services contacts.

The bibliographies linked to CORSAIR records for medieval and Renaissance manuscripts contain references to books and articles that have come to our attention since 1989. References to scholarly publications that have escaped our notice are most welcome. Please e-mail citations to msbibl@themorgan.org

Appointments are required to consult the Morgan's rare materials in the Reading Room and the Drawing Study Center.

Information on obtaining images of Morgan collection items and permission to reproduce or quote from collection items is available from the Dept. of Photography and Rights.
