A Fisher reader's card must be completed and identification with name and current address (e.g. driver's license, photo health card, etc.) will be requested.
Researchers wishing to consult manuscript material must complete a Manuscript Use Form for each manuscript collection or individual manuscript they wish to consult, briefly outlining the purpose of their research or reason for their request. Please note that some collections have access restrictions in accordance with the wishes of donors or creators.
