Document Access Researchers may gain access to documents only through a National Security Archive staff member. To select materials for retrieval, researchers are encouraged to browse through the Archive s onsite inventory or to speak to the public service coordinator or an Archive librarian. Once relevant materials have been selected, the Archive staff member servicing you will request the boxes. There is a limit of five boxes a day, per researcher. Document Integrity Please do not mark or fold the materials in any way or disturb the order in which they are stored.
Pencils are available if needed.
Due to space constraints, researchers are limited to five boxes in the research room at a time and are discouraged from bringing small children. When additional materials are needed they will be retrieved by the Archive staff member assisting you. Food and drink are not permitted in the reading room. Researchers are welcome to bring personal laptops, if needed. The public service coordinator or an Archive librarian can instruct you on their use.
