In order to better serve our patrons, the Oberlin College Archives has created this message submission form to standardize our incoming email. We require several fields—i.e. first and last names, email address, postal address, research purpose, and message—to make initial contact as complete as possible. In addition, we appreciate any additional information you could provide, in the optional fields, so we know the organizational affiliation and general subject of the research inquiries of our growing number of patrons using Internet.
