download and read the Research Proposal Guidelines.
if you have questions about whether there are materials in the RMSC collections that would be pertinent to your research, please contact the appropriate person for the material in which you have an interest.
fill out and submit a Request For Access. Either download the text version and email it to Kathryn Murano, or download the pdf version and mail or fax it to:

after your request is received, it will be scheduled for the next Collections and Records Access Committee meeting. You will be notified of the status of your request after the meeting.
if your request is approved, you will be contacted by a member of the Collections Department staff to schedule your visit.
If you plan to take photographs as part of your research, you will need to fill out and sign a Photography Agreement before you begin your research. Note that this agreement gives you the right to take and use photographs for your own research purposes only. Use of the photographs in publications, presentations, or any other public or professional venue requires permissions through the Rights & Reproductions process.
