The manuscript collections are stored in closed stacks accessible only to Department staff. In order to use the materials, you must submit a request to a member of the public services staff using a "Call Slip."

The call slip indicates the name, number, and portion of the collection you wish to use. When you fill out your call slips, use the finding aids to gather all the necessary information, and consult the public services staff for assistance. Call slips are available in the Reference Room.
