What to Expect

All archives have certain requirements to secure and protect their materials. Here are some of the things that we expect of our patrons: 

  • Please wash your hands with soap and water before your visit (not hand sanitizer).
  • Keep personal belongings separate from the study area. You will be given access to a locker with a key.
  • No pen — pencil only. We have extra pencils if needed.
  • You may bring a computer, tablet, phone, camera (no tripod), and/or notepaper.
  • No food, drinks, or gum.
  • Use the various tools provided to you.
  • It is essential that things be kept in the order in which you receive them.
  • Only look through one folder at a time — never have multiple folders out or open.
  • Ask an archivist if you have questions about how to handle a specific item.
  • Always wash your hands afterward — some archival material contains harmful properties.
