Prospective users should contact Special Collections and University Archives to determine the status of specific A/V items. When items are available, they can only be used on-site in the Special Collections Reading Room. They cannot be recorded, taped or filmed, and we cannot provide copies of these items. Please make arrangements with Special Collection to use available materials.
