Some depositors have placed restrictions on what can be consulted or reproduced and this is highlighted in the catalogue record. Historical Search Room staff will notify you if the collection you wish to consult is affected in this way and you may be asked to sign an undertaking to contact the owner if you wish to publish or use the records in another way.
There may also be legal reasons for the closure of some parts of collections. Please note that the owner of the collection may not be the copyright owner. Please contact us for information on restrictions on specific documents.
