Please plan accordingly. Archival materials do not circulate and are to be used only in the reading room. Microfilm may usually be loaned through Interlibrary Loan. Self-service photocopying is not available, but visitors may select materials for the Library staff to copy as time permits. Some accessions have restrictions that prohibit photocopying and occasionally materials are too fragile for copying.
Photographic duplication is also available.
Researchers may have their copies mailed and billed to them after they depart. The user assumes responsibility for any infringement of copyright and publication rights of materials from the collection and agrees to remit payment for copies made. The primary finding aid, the inventory , is a list that reflects the organization of the papers and provides inclusive dates. Inventories are often prefaced with narrative guides that establish biographical or historical context. Guides provide a detailed discussion of the content and arrangement of papers as well as information about collection sources and related materials.
