Directions

The California Digital Library is located on the fourth floor of the Oakland Scientific Facility, a high-security building housing the Lawrence Berkeley Lab on its lower floors. In order to gain access to the building, you must first arrange with a member of the CDL to register your name with the first floor security desk. Upon arrival, use the outside intercom to identify yourself at the security desk. You will then be allowed to enter the building, sign in at the security desk, and proceed to the fourth floor.
