Cape Girardeau Research Center
Kent Library
1 University Place
Cape Girardeau, Mo.
The public is invited to an Open House reception Tue., Aug. 27, 4-6 p.m., to officially welcome a larger new space for the SHSMO Cape Girardeau Research Center. For 18 months, the center was housed in temporary quarters after water damage and mold closed the research center in Pacific Hall on the SEMO campus in December 2022. No damage occurred to the any material held at the research center and the collections were safely moved into storage until the center reopened at its new location. This summer, SHSMO patrons can enjoy a new space in Kent Library, which offers many metered and handicap parking spots near the library. The Cape Girardeau Research Center is open to the public Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
