The archives also include the Institute's extensive photograph collection. Papers of individuals for the most part have been placed elsewhere. Photocopying is available at twenty cents per copy, as long as the photocopying process will not harm the items being copied. Photocopying must be done by the archives staff, and thus an order of more than a few pages may mean a slight delay for the researcher in obtaining the copies. Duplication of photographs are available to the researcher, assuming no copyright restrictions apply.
Researchers sign a registration form that includes an agreement to abide by rules governing use.
Visitors are advised that some form of photographic identification is required for access to the Institute for Advanced Study Archives.
