For Researchers
At this time, the Brownsville Historical Association does not accommodate on-site research requests. All requests for research privileges and appointments must be made in advance so that the museum staff may make arrangements, assemble collections, and schedule curatorial time. The Museum reserves the right to limit or to refuse research requests at any time.

Please note a non- refundable base fee of $25.00 is required in advance to conduct a preliminary search. All research requests will be answered within six weeks of their receipt.
