Material in Archives is unique, rare, and fragile.  Take your time when handling materials.

• You may be asked to wear gloves, wash your hands, or use supports when handling certain materials.
• Documents should remain flat on the table.
• Take out only one folder at a time from boxed collections.  Maintain the original order of the folders as well as materials within the folder.
• Be sure to pay attention to documents as a whole; look at the front and back of items for identifying any descriptive information.
• Any questions?  Ask!  That's what we're here for.

New York University's short video on Handling Archival materials.

For this project, students can work in groups at a study table.  Each student will need to fill out a Registration Form and Access to Materials form.

If taking photos with a camera, an additional form will be provided by the desk attendant.

Have your student or other photo ID with you when you register.
