State University calendar.
- Researchers must sign the Conditions of Use form
each day upon arrival. Permission to examine materials will be
given upon completion and signature of the form.
AHF reserves the right to deny access to any material
that is fragile, not yet processed, or which is restricted at the
wish of the donor.

form with as much detail as possible, including collection name,
box and folder numbers, call number, and author. Please print
clearly.
- Items can be pulled ahead of time and placed
on hold if an appointment is made. For out of town researchers
this can be a time saving approach. Please contact the office

Use of Materials

Materials should not be rearranged within their folders or boxes.

irregularities in arrangement should be brought to the attention
of the staff.
- No marks may be added or erased from any archival
material.
- Materials must not be leaned on, written on,
folded anew, traced, or handled in any way likely to damage them.
Reproduction of Materials (photocopies,
photographs, and other media)
- A signed Conditions of Use form is required
before orders can be completed. Telephone or email orders should
fax (480.965.5744) or email the signed form to AHF along with
the Reproduction Order Form. The forms are available in the Reading
Room or on online at http://www.ahfweb.org.
- Copyright: The copyright law of the United States
(Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies or other

specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to
furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified
conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not be “used

If a user makes a request for, or later uses a photocopy or reproduction
for purposes in excess or “fair use” that user may
be liable for copyright infringement.
- AHF can only grant permission to publish for
materials for which it holds the copyright or those items in the
public domain. It is the responsibility of the researcher to obtain
copyright permission, if copyright resides outside the Foundation.
The publishing party assumes all responsibility for any infringement
of the United States copyright law. The user agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Arizona Historical Foundation, its officers,
employees and agents from and against all claims made by any person

Additional restrictions may apply to some materials based on copyright
law and donor restrictions.
- In general, manuscript materials may be copied
in their entirety unless restricted by donor agreement or statute.
- Reproduction is handled on a case by case basis.
For purposes of preservation, fragile and particularly rare items
will not be photocopied or digitized. The Foundation reserves
the right to refuse to accept an order if, in its opinion, fulfillment
of the order would involve violation of copyright law or donor
restrictions, or would damage the original.
- All duplication will be handled by AHF staff.
- Use of cameras or any other duplication technology
in the reading room requires special permission.
- Permission to examine materials does not constitute
permission to publish or quote, either in print or in electronic
format (including web pages). Written authorization from AHF is
required. Researchers who wish to request authorization to publish
must submit a completed Permission to Publish form and use fee.
A use fee is charged for the commercial publication or exhibition
of materials. Use fees are for one-time, one-edition rights. Use
fees are not charged for use of AHF holdings in student papers,
theses or dissertations. To the extent it may properly do so AHF
will grant publication right to qualified applicants. A complimentary
copy of the publication using AHF holdings should be provided
to the Foundation as soon as the work is published.
- Any publication or exhibition of Foundation
materials must be credited to the Arizona Historical Foundation.
Presentation of images in web pages, multimedia format, print,
film or television must be accompanied by a cutline citation to
the Foundation, preferably in close proximity to the image. Materials

including the name of the collection, call number or box and folder
number/call numbers.

services may not be possible and assumes no responsibility for
missed deadlines in case rush service is not available.
