Digital Imaging Policy Statement

For the purpose of preserving its collections, the Reuther Library has made digital imaging the default option for reproduction of materials in our Reading Room. The Reuther Library urges patrons to bring digital cameras with them if they wish to have reproductions made from manuscript materials. For patrons who do not bring their own digital cameras, the Reuther Library will, on a first come, first served basis, furnish a digital camera. In special circumstances, and at the discretion of the Reference Archivist, the Reuther Library will offer a limited photocopy service.

Please contact our Reference Archivist with any questions about digital imaging.

Reference Service Mission Statement

The rules for use of archival materials at the Walter P. Reuther Library have been established to provide the fullest possible access to collections while maintaining strict preservation standards. Failure to comply with these rules will result in the denial of access to the collections. The archivist at the Reading Room desk will be glad to assist you or will refer you to a staff archivist knowledgeable in your field of interest.

General Information

The collections housed in the Reuther Library are open to anyone engaged in serious research. Persons planning on visiting the archives are advised to write, telephone, or e-mail the Reference Archivist at reutherreference@wayne.edu in advance. To view collections and engage in research in person, patrons are asked to register at the Reuther Library front desk. From the front desk, patrons are guided to the Reading Room or one of several specialized audio-visual viewing rooms.

Limited research may also be conducted by a member of our staff. Please contact the Reference Archivist or the appropriate staff member.

Catalog records for many of the archival collections, periodicals, and books may also be accessed on the Wayne State University Library Online Catalog.
