For example, the physical condition of the items or their market value may lead to restrictions on use within the archival facility. Various collections will have different levels of access. The following policies have been adopted to allow the researcher access while the substantial work of organizing and preserving the Riderana collections proceeds. In the future, use and care policies for specific collections, such as the Leslie Collection, will be adopted. Materials in the Riderana collections are to be used solely in Riderana.
Access is by appointment only.
User access is available only while the University Archivist, designated librarians, or designated Riderana student workers are in Riderana with the user. While not all materials are cataloged, certain uncataloged materials have guides available through the Online Public Access Catalog and the web. Non-cataloged items will have a user's guide available in Riderana.
