If you are a researcher interested in requesting a new microfilm loan or oral history transcript, you must work with your librarian to make the request through the Archives of American Art research request system.

All requests are subject to the following conditions:

• Requests must be submitted by a librarian, who has registered for an account at https://aeon.aaa.si.edu.
• Materials are for in-library use only.
• Microfilm requests are limited to eight reels per patron.
• Each distinct collection or interview requires a separate form. 
• Access Restricted materials are not eligible for interlibrary loan.
