Please be careful handling the material. These are all rare materials and frequently one of a kind. If you have requested to examine any photographic material (negatives, contact sheets, prints) gloves will be provided.

Remember to:

• Wash hands before handling any materials
• Use the book cradles and other supports as shown by staff
• Write on note paper on the table, rather than on top of the library materials with pencil only
• Be aware of dangling clothing or jewelry that might fall on materials
• Keep laptop cords from crossing on top of objects
• Use gloves with photographic negatives or metal objects
• Handle photographic prints by the edges only and one at a time
