Guidelines for Using Archival Material

Please exercise care and good judgement in handling the Center for Local History's collections:

  • Use only one box or folder at a time
  • Maintain the filing order of the materials within each box and folder
  • Do not trace or rub any portion of a map, photo, or document
  • Use pencils only
  • Use gloves for handling original photos; gloves will be provided by staff

The staff of the Center may, in some instances, limit the number of materials served to any researcher at one time.  The staff may also serve copies when originals are extremely rare or fragile.

Please notify a staff member when you have finished using your materials.
