Access Restrictions
Open to qualified researchers with the exception of restricted materials. Restricted materials may include contracts and agreements between Time Inc., its subsidiaries, and third parties; records with personally identifiable information; and personnel records regarding performance reviews or terminations. Materials created within the past 35 years also may be subject to restriction on a case-by-case basis. Aside from the full series or subseries of restricted records, restricted materials separated from their series are located in Boxes R9, R15, R16, R17, R65, R66, R67.
Unreformatted audiovisual and digital material in the collection is not accessible. Audiovisual is restricted because of its fragility and because N-YHS has no equipment on which to play them. Please contact the curator of manuscripts at manuscripts@nyhistory.org for further information. Digital material is currently restricted from access in order to ensure that the digital files are not accidentally corrupted.
Materials are stored offsite and advance notice is required for use.
