Introduction and overview of this guide
This guide highlights primary and secondary sources available in the Georgetown University Archives for research on the Georgetown University Observatory. Where these resources are available online, this is indicated. However, researchers should anticipate spending much more time working with physical records than with digital surrogates. Use the links to the left to navigate through the content of this guide.
The University Archives are part of the Booth Family Center for Special Collections and are found on the 5th floor of Lauinger Library. The Booth Family Center is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reference inquiries may be made in person, by telephone (202-687-7631), via our email form, or via the chat feature on Booth’s homepage. University Archives staff are very happy to discuss research projects and to direct researchers to resources both within and outside the Archives.
