The records were acquired in several accessions, 1990 and ongoing, primarily through Bruce Madej and later through the Media Relations Office (donor no. 1776).
The records are open for research use with the exception of boxes 52-53 which include some material subject to FERPA.
To protect fragile audiovisual recordings (such as audio cassettes, film reels, and VHS
tapes), the Bentley Historical Library has a policy of converting them to digital
formats by a professional vendor whenever a researcher requests access. For more
