The register is the only form of registration needed to use items in the Archives and a patron's signature in the register implies his or her agreement to abide by our rules of use. Patrons should request the materials they need from an attendant. Attendants retrieve and return all requested materials from storage rooms. Patrons are never allowed in these rooms, but they may peruse the book ranges in the main office. All materials must be viewed in the main office and may not be taken from it without the permission of an attendant.
Materials are non-circulating.
All materials must be handled carefully. However, we reserve the right to refuse requests for photocopying or other reproduction if the process could be harmful to materials, if the request violates copyright laws, or if the amount of material to be copied is so great as to occupy staff members for too great a time. Photocopies and copies of audio and video recordings can be made on site. The copying of photographs, architectural drawings, and maps must be done at local businesses because the McNeese Archives does not own the equipment needed to make such copies. There is no form for requesting photocopies, but a patron's request for or making of copies implies his or her agreement to follow the McNeese Archives' photocopying policy posted by the patron table and microfilm copier.
