Researchers must exercise extreme caution while handing archival materials. Only pencils may be used for taking notes. No eating, drinking, or smoking is permitted. There is no charge for research in the Archives, but fees are levied to cover the costs of copies, shipping of mail orders, and handling of large copy orders. See Fee Schedule.
All copying is at the discretion of the archivist.
Fragile items, original photographs, and rare or oversize bound books may not be copied. Archival materials may be copied only by staff. On-site photography is not generally permitted. Under no circumstances may the researcher take materials outside the Archives for copying . One copy of a publication in which an Archives photograph is used must be submitted to the Santa Clara University Archives.
