The Rasmuson Library Alaska and Polar Regions Collections and Archives department has reopened in its newly renovated space on level 2. The area required extensive work after a flood in 2017.

Assistant archivists Becky Butler and Rose Speranza are still settling in but are available to help researchers. Research visits can be arranged by calling 474-2791 or emailing UAF-APR-reference-Service@alaska.edu.

"We appreciate all the concern and support our research community has shown over the closure period, and we think you'll be pleased when you see the spruced-up research room," said Karen Jensen, director of libraries.
