Research Room Rules at the Peabody Museum Archives: Researchers must read and sign an Archival Materials Request Form. No food or drink is allowed in the Research Room. No ballpoint or fountain pens; please use the pencils provided. All backpacks and large brief cases must be left with jackets and coats in the designated cloakroom. All Researchers must use archival materials under the supervision of an Archives staff member. Materials may not be removed from the Research Room. When using an archival manuscript or photo collection, please wear the gloves provided. To maintain organization of the collections, only one person may use a particular item at a time. All materials will be examined after use to verify that collections are properly re-filed. Nothing is to be placed on top of the archival material, including pencils, notepads, paper, elbows, etc. Please do not place order forms on the materials when you write on the forms, as the pencil pressure will cause damage. Please sit with your chair facing the Archives attendant. Please sit only one person per table when space permits. Consideration of other researchers is expected and appreciated. It is the responsibility of all researchers to assist in the preservation of archival items. The materials are rare and in many cases, unique. Please take appropriate care to insure these items are available for future researchers.
