Policies

  • Personal belongings (i.e., books, papers, folders, pens, newspaper, bags, briefcases, computer cases, coats, and umbrellas) cannot be brought into the research room. Use of a laptop computer is permitted.
  • Food and beverages are not permitted while archival material is in the room.
  • Researchers do not have access to the Archives Repository.
  • Archival material is highly fragile and vulnerable to improper handling. To minimize any damage, original documents must remain on the desk and separate from researcher’s notes. Documents must not be marked, rearranged, removed from their covers, or taken out of the research room. Please return files to their proper sequence in each box and make sure not to mix records from different boxes because it is vital that records remain in their proper boxes. In addition, leaving numerous files spread out on the tables is not permitted.
  • Use pencils and note pads only. Ink, marker pens, and post-it-notes may not be used as they can damage the records.
  • Archival materials may not leave the library building.  Materials may be loaned to other offices on campus with prior approval arranged by the Archivist and after necessity has been evaluated.  Each archival item will be inventoried and each item must be signed in and out by both the individual borrowing the item as well as the Archivist.
