1. May AHC collections be checked out? Items in the archive may not be checked out. Copying machines are available - copies are ten cents per page plus tax.

2. What other sources should I check before visiting the AHC?
If possible, check secondary sources on your topic before visiting. It is best to have background information and facts before you begin researching primary sources.

3. What if I can't find what I'm looking for? Ask questions! If you are not finding what you need in the finding aids, ask the archivist on the desk for assistance.

4. Am I required to cite AHC collections? Write complete citations on everything you collect, want copies of, or think you will ever want to find again.

5. Where do I begin my search? Start your search with the AHC Catalog and the card catalogue cards. You may access the AHC catalog via the Web, but the card catalogue cards are only available in the Reading Room. As you advance in your search, archivists may recommend other finding aids as well.

You may also wish to consult the AHC' Instructional Support services.
