Access Restrictions
Open to qualified researchers, though some material is restricted. N-YHS restricts Board of Trustee and Executive Office files for 50 years following the departure of a President and Chief Executive Officer. This restriction pertains to portions of this record group. Also, the records related to patron research inquiries are restricted for a time. Any restrictions are further described in an Access Restrictions Note at the relevant series level.
The bulk of the material is stored offsite. For more information on making arrangements to consult them, please visit www.nyhistory.org/library/visit.
