Anyone wishing to use collection materials must register annually. Registration is for the current academic year and expires on June 30th.

By registering, the patron is applying for permission to examine collection materials and agrees to abide by the Terms Governing the Use of Departmental Holdings and Reading Room Procedures. Before completing the registration process, the researcher must read these.

Researchers must present two forms of identification, one of which includes a photograph, to the public services staff member on duty.

Currently, Manuscripts and Archives does not have any provision for online registration in advance of one's visit.
