Photocopies of the photograph collection, the hospitals various newsletters and the newspaper clipping file is available for browsing in the general stack area.
Use of certain archives and manuscripts is restricted. The Archives also reserves the right to restrict the use of records that are not arranged, and may provide facsimiles of very fragile materials.

Handling of Materials
Pencil or computer must be used for note-taking. Ink of any kind can permanently deface materials, and its use is prohibited. Handle these irreplaceable materials gently.
