FAQ
- I am new to archival research and looking for help finding materials and understanding what resources are available. Where can I start?

If you have additional questions or need other research help, you can reach out to Pratt Institute Archives staff at archives.library@pratt.edu.

- Yes, we have a Digital Collections page where visitors can view images of materials that we have in the archives. These images are created through ongoing digitization projects where we scan archival photographs, negatives, Pratt yearbooks, documents, and other items from our collections. Not all of our items have been digitized, but new materials are added regularly. Learn more on our Digital Collections page.
