Access Restrictions
Access to certain collections may be governed by restrictions placed on the materials by their donors or depositors, or by the physical condition of the material. Records of the Board of Trustees, for instance, are closed for fifty years. If you have questions regarding access restrictions, feel free to speak with the archivist on duty.

Protection of the Collections
We ask your aid in preserving our collections. Please take care when examining materials. No items may be removed from the reading room, and the original order of all manuscripts and folders must be maintained. The use of any kind of pen is prohibited; pencils are available at the reading room services desk. Materials should not be written upon, traced, or handled in any way likely to damage them. Eating and drinking are not permitted in the reading room, and smoking is prohibited.
