Access Restrictions
Open to qualified researchers by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, contact the Print Room Librarian at printroom@nyhistory.org.
Access to the material is restricted because it is quite fragile, as newsprint from the period has turned brittle. Some documents are already damaged. Consequently, patrons are required to use N-YHS's photocopies of the material. After using the copies, should a patron wish to see a particular original(s), they will need to consult and make arrangements for special handling with the reference librarian.
Use Restrictions
Photocopying undertaken by staff only. Limited to 20 exposures of stable, unbound material per day. Application to use images from this collection for publication should be made in writing to: Department of Rights and Reproductions, The New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024-5194, rightsandrepro@nyhistory.org. Phone: (212) 873-3400 ext. 282.
Copyrights and other proprietary rights may subsist in individuals and entities other than the New-York Historical Society, in which case the patron is responsible for securing permission from those parties.
