Legacy Center Service Changes

Due to JASC’s planned move and upcoming staffing changes, the JASC Legacy Center is temporarily suspending all public services. This means that until further notice, we are unable to provide any of the following:

• Reference service
• Research appointments
• Reproduction services
• Programming and outreach
• Donation consultations

This service disruption is necessary in order for Legacy Center staff to prepare the collections to be moved as safely as possible. Service will resume and new donations will be accepted as soon as the move has been completed and new staff have been hired. At present, there is no exact date for re-opening.

During this period, we recommend consulting our wealth of digital resources and the recommended resources list on our new website.

We thank you for your understanding and patience!
