Reading Room Rules

Please respect the following rules while using our facility:

• No food or drinks (even water!) as spills can destroy precious historical documents.
• Always use pencil for making notes about your research. Ink may permanently damage irreplaceable records.
• Never write on archival or reference material.
• Please handle documents carefully and respectfully at all times.
• Wear cotton or nitril gloves when requested to do so. These will be provided by Archives staff.
• Please keep all documents in the order in which they are received. Never attempt to re-sort or re-file material.
• Archives holdings do not circulate and may not be removed from the facility.
• Work with only one box and one folder at a time.
