The UAA Archives and Manuscripts Department was created in order to collect, preserve, and make available for research use papers and records relating to the history of Alaska.
Unrestricted records are open to general use and copying.
Records will not be loaned for copying, and, with the exception of microfilm and microfiche, all copying will be done by departmental staff. Reasonable fees for copying based on a published scale will be uniformly imposed. Fees must be paid at the time the order is placed. Permission for researchers to use their own equipment in copying will generally be denied. In cases in which the ownership or copyright holder, or their heirs, are not known or available, the researcher will be required to sign a release when copies are provided.
