With some internal Mount Holyoke College exceptions, permission to publish, exhibit, broadcast or quote from manuscripts or other records (including visual images) in the Mount Holyoke College Archives and Special Collections requires written permission. The receipt of copied materials does not automatically grant such permission.

It is the researcher's responsibility to request these forms if she/he has not already read and or signed them.

3. The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyright material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

4. Mount Holyoke College reserves the right to make a charge for the use of the Archives and Special Collections and to impose such other regulations and restrictions as it deems appropriate in any individul case.
