[edit] Practicalities

[edit] Food

On weekdays try walking down Dexter Avenue, the main street that terminates at the Capitol building. Saturdays can be tough, as the downtown Montgomery eateries cater to the lunch crowd on business days.

[edit] Lockers

[edit] Washrooms

[edit] Transportation

[edit] Internet access

Wireless Internet access is available at no charge. A password is required, and can be obtained from the reference desk in the reading room. The password changes periodically. The wireless router is named "yellowhammer" (for the Alabama state bird).

Workstations with Internet access are also available.

[edit] Disabilities

Access for people with disabilities is much improved since the construction of the West Wing. Access to the building is from the Adams Avenue entrance. Five parking spaces are available in the free lot south of the Adams Avenue entrance. Guide animals are allowed in the museum and research room. For more information on accessibility, see http://www.archives.state.al.us/adaguide.html.
