亚博永久官网Wellesley College Archives访问政策

1. Introduction

The Archives is open to all researchers, including those from outside Wellesley. We are committed to providing open access to our collections as far as possible within the limits of privacy, confidentiality, and preservation. Although many records and manuscript collections are open for use, there are materials held by the Archives that are subject to access restrictions. For institutional data, some restrictions are mandated by laws such asFERPA(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), while others are determined by the Archives in conjunction with the records-creating department or office. Wellesley College adheres to the获取原始研究材料的指导方针是美国图书馆协会和美国档案家协会的联合声明。

Restrictions on access to manuscript collections are informed by the need to balance access and confidentiality in records. Often this is stipulated in the terms of the gift agreement governing the donation of the material. In negotiating these agreements, the Archives seeks to secure the greatest access possible, and will stipulate a set period for any restrictions to expire so that materials may be available for use. For older collections, access is determined by the College Archivist.

对研究人员开放的集合可能会因病情和格式而有限制,并受版权法。由于收集在汇总层面处理,因此收集内的单个物品可能太脆弱,无法安全地处理或可能包含机密信息。档案期望研究人员遵循所有相关法律和Wellesley Collegicies。亚博永久官网
