For most of the General Interest and Special Collections we have prepared photocopies of the individual photographs for reference use. One photocopy of each original is filed in collection "shelf list" order and a second copy is filed in a separate subject binder according to the placement of the original photograph within the collection's subject arrangement. There are no restrictions to the use of the binders of photocopies. Original photographs are available to registered researchers by appointment.
