Library donation protocol update

Institute News

Revised guidelines for offers of books and archival materials, including appraisal timelines.

We are grateful for the generosity of donors who wish to place materials with our library and special collections. To steward acquisitions responsibly, we have revised our intake protocol.

All offers must begin with a descriptive list (author, title, date, condition) sent by email. Curatorial staff will respond within twenty working days with next steps or a polite decline where duplication or capacity limits apply. Unsolicited drop-offs can no longer be accepted at the front desk.
