Rules for Using the Archives
The holdings or collections
in the Library Archives are different from the library
collections. Those in the Archives are not
replaceable. The documents and items in the
Archives are of permanent historical value to the university.
Because of this, the following rules will apply to
everyone using the Library Archives.
-
All visitors to the Archives are required to sign in.
By signing in, you agree to abide by our rules.
For the protection of our materials and collections,
you may be denied access if you do not comply with the
rules.
-
No materials, documents, or collections belonging in the
Archives may be removed from the Archives without the
express consent of the Archivist or Director of the Library.
-
The Archives is monitored at all times for security.
Visitors and researchers must be accompanied by a
staff member.
-
While using our collections, you may have only paper,
pencil, or laptop computer with you. No
pens are permitted. Pencils are
provided.
-
All bags, containers, backpacks, purses, and
computer cases, coats, hats, etc. must
be left by the front desk while you are using the Archives.
A rack is provided for your coat and hat.
The Archives nor the library is responsible for the
security of your personal property.
-
While in the Archives, all personal electronic devices (i.e.
cell phones) must be muted. If a cell
phone rings, you will be asked to leave the Archives.
-
No food or drink, even in a covered container, is allowed in
the Archives. No gum or mints or other
edible items are allowed.
-
Please handle all materials as if they were ancient and
fragile. Wash you hands.
Do not use hand lotions or creams.
-
When taking notes, please make sure your paper is on the
table, and not resting on any archival documents or
materials.
-
You may be asked to wear gloves while handling photographs
or other items.
-
If you have requested more than one item, we ask that you
use only one item at a time.
-
No self-service duplication of materials is permitted.
You may not bring in your own scanner, cell phone
with camera, or camera.
Making an appointment with the Archivist is

you make an appointment, the Archivist can have your request
filled and waiting for you at your appointed time. |
