      Access to the Collection
     

A maximum of seven books may be requested per day, unless the researcher has made a prior appointment and arrangement with the curator.

In the case of manuscripts and printed books of which the Hispanic Society holds a unique copy, appointments are required.

All requests to study and/or publish manuscript or other unique material must be approved by the Hispanic Society.

In the case of private correspondence, the researcher is required to obtain permission from the heirs of the parties concerned unless the Hispanic Society already has such permission.

Although the collection is non-circulating and not available for interlibrary loan, most of the items can be reproduced in microfilm, black and white photography, color transparency or slides. We do not photocopy items from the collection.

Please contact the Library Department for details.

No photography of items is permitted.
