Policies
Different policies govern the development of our archival holdings. In addition to the general policy, the rare books and university archives have specific policies governing the acquisition of new materials. An exhibits policy governs the selection of materials for display in our exhibition space and provides guidelines for submitting an application for an exhibition.
