Onsite Access During the COVID-19 Pandemic

By Nicole Milano on March 9, 2022 - 10:00am

The Medical Center Archives of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine is pleased to reopen its onsite research room for fully vaccinated external researchers beginning March 14, 2022. Official proof of full vaccination and a government-issued photograph ID must be provided upon arrival. Researchers are required to wear medical-grade masks at all times during the onsite research visit. 

Please reach out to email-archives@med.cornell.edu to schedule an onsite research appointment. Only researchers with confirmed appointments who have completed the Visitor COVID-19 Vaccination Attestation form (provided by the Medical Center Archives upon confirmation of appointment) in advance may come onsite.

The Medical Center Archives continues to provide thousands of digitized archival items through our website for remote researchers. Click here to view digitized images and here to view digitized historical publications such as annual reports. You can also learn more about the history of the medical center here, the history of the institutions which comprise the medical center here, and how the medical center has responded to previous crises over the past 250 years in the blog series "Courage Under Crisis" here

Updates as of May 2023: the Medical Center of Archives is no longer requiring proof of vaccination, a COVID-19 Attestation form, or requiring medical-grade masks while in the Archives' reading room. We ask that anyone who has tested positive or experienced COVID-19 symptoms within the past 10 days reschedule their appointment for a later date.
