Request Materials

Advance notice is required for the use of computer records. Original physical digital media is restricted. An access terminal for born-digital materials in the collection is available by appointment for reading room viewing and listening only. Researchers may view an item's original container and/or carrier, but the physical carriers themselves are not available for use because of preservation concerns.

Portions of this unprocessed collection are either in fragile condition, poorly housed, or loose. Therefore, in certain instances preservation concerns may take precedence, and, at the discretion of Library staff, some materials may not be available for use.
