Researchers are highly encouraged to take their own flash-free reference photos of collection materials using cell phone cameras or personal digital cameras.
In-person researchers may request up to 50 pages to be digitized by Archives staff per semester.
We reserve the right to deny photography rights and reproduction requests based on condition, value, size, known restrictions and copyright, and donor agreements. Restrictions in donor agreements associated with certain collections may prohibit reproduction for personal reference use and commercial uses.
