Research Using the Archives and Special Collections

Archival materials are housed in the New College Thesis Room 134 of the library. The physical safety of materials that are presumably unique and irreplaceable is the prime consideration in defining use policies. The collections are available to the campus community for reference, study and use with staff assistance. 

Access requires arrangements to be made by contacting Gail Novak, the Cook Library Archivist, at 487-4406. An appointment must be scheduled to access the materials.  After outlining the subject area, the Archivist will ensure that the appropriate materials have been pulled for the researcher's use. These materials are restricted to " In Library Use" only.  The material may only be used in Room 134. 

Honoring the Sunshine Laws of the State of Florida, still means that original and personal documents must be cleared through either the New College of Florida or the University of South Florida's attorney's office, the Campus Dean, Library Director, or with appropriate organizations or individuals. If the material has appeared in print as a public document the Archivist can provide the material without other permissions. 

To use the archives, the researcher signs in, and shows a picture ID. The Archivist will be present and obtains materials for use. No briefcases, bags, or large purses are allowed in the room. After use files are returned to the Archivist. Only pencils, no pens are allowed.

If materials need to be copied or digitized, give them to the Archivist who will tell you when they will be ready for pickup and their costs.

Before any use or publication based on archival materials is made notification along with a copy for approval must be submitted to all parties involved. This must include a statement of the use to be made of the materials (name of publication), including any use of photographs, digitized materials and if appropriate a description of any commercial involvement. Written clearance for publication must then be obtained. Copyright remains with the Jane Bancroft Cook Library. Financial gains accrued from the use of any materials are made directly to, and are for use and benefit of, the Jane Bancroft Cook Library.

The first place to look for information on New College is in the book New College The First Three Decades by Furman C. Arthur. Copies are available in the book store or the Library's collection, LD3775 .A788.
