NOTE: We  are inventorying and updating the Public Research Files so the following lists may not be 100% accurate, but are still a good representation of the contents.

HMFM has organized several boxes of research materials and photographs related to Missoula History that are available to interested researchers during the Museum’s open hours. The files are located on the first floor of the museum. Please check in with the front desk person to gain access.

 

To make an appointment, contact Emma Selfors the Curator of Collections AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE of date and time of preferred appointment. (406.258.3472).

Materials may not leave the research library. Photographing materials yourself is highly encouraged, though copies can be made if necessary.
