Research Services at the Issaquah History Museums

The David J. Horrocks Memorial Research Center is located at the Gilman Town Hall, 165 SE Andrews Street, in downtown Issaquah. The research center is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11-3, and other times by appointment. Even during open hours, appointments are recommended. This will ensure that museum staff members are available to assist you.

 When you arrive for your appointment, research staff will help identify the resources you’ll need and make them available for your perusal. After the first half hour of assistance, continued assistance is available at a rate of $20.00 per hour.  If you are unable to come to the research center, or need additional help with your project, we can conduct research for you at the $20.00 an hour rate. E-mail us for more information about our services, or check our on-line research guide for assistance.
