Researchers are required to use notepaper supplied by the Library. No pens of any sort may be used. The Library will provide pencils for those who need them. Tape recorders, computers and other electronic research aids are permitted provided that other researchers are not disturbed. Researchers who need access to regular holdings will be permitted one archival box or two books at a time.
Rare materials are more tightly controlled.
By signing this document, all researchers agree to respect all controls and restrictions. All original materials must be handled with great care and rest on the table or in the cradle provided at all times. Do not place notepaper on books or manuscripts when taking notes. No tracings or rubbings of any kind may be made nor marks of any kind made in or erased from any materials. Permission to photocopy material will be given at the discretion of the Rare Books Librarian.
