Archival research demands more time than secondary source research because of the nature of the items and the care required in their circulation. Archival materials are more rare than secondary source materials and are often fragile and irreplaceable. Researchers are asked to take the time to show extra special care and respect when using these materials. They should be returned to the service desk where staff checks for damaged or missing items. DRFs will be cancelled to indicate return of materials.
Lockers are available for coats, book bags, etc.
