Reading Room Guidelines

The Staubitz Archives welcomes all individuals to use its materials, whether you are a part of the Carthage community or a member of the general public.

It is the responsibility of the user to assist in the preservation of archival materials. Appropriate care should be exercised to ensure that future generations of researchers have access to these materials. Visitors are therefore requested to observe the following guidelines:

● Upon arrival, please sign in with the archivist.

● The archives staff reserves the right to request a form of photo identification.

● Visitors are requested to leave their coats and bags in the Archives office area.

● Laptops are welcome, but laptop bags must be stowed in the Archives office area.

● Food, beverages, and gum are not permitted in the Archives.

● Pens and highlighters are not permitted, only pencils may be used.

● Cell phone ringers must be turned off. Calls made or received should take place outside the reading room.

● The Archives is non-circulating and all requested materials are brought to researchers by Archives staff. Materials must remain in the reading room.

● Researchers are asked to handle materials with clean hands; the staff will provide gloves to be worn when handling photographs and other fragile materials.

● All archival materials must be handled carefully. Use only one folder at a time and keep the papers in their existing order. Do not place books or volumes face down. Use pencil only and do not write on anything except your own paper.

● If you wish to publish material from the Archives, please credit the Archives: Staubitz Archives, Carthage College.
