Am I able to view a restricted manuscript?

The Library’s policy with regard to viewing an original manuscript / restricted item is that all readers are required to consult a surrogate (microfilm / digital) copy of the item in the first instance. Should you then find that the surrogate copy is inadequate for the purpose of your research, you may request to view the original manuscript. A member of our Collections Care team will consider this request on the day of your visit. Please note that you will need a valid reader’s ticket to consult items in the reading rooms.
