Access Restrictions:
Access. Most of the records are open to research, but there are some records access to which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. Folders #54v-66d, 92-93, 128-177, and 179 are closed to all researchers, except present and former Fragment Society board members, for 80 years from the date of the most recent document in the respective folder. Individual documents removed from otherwise open folders are also closed for 80 years. To ensure the privacy of the aid recipients, each researcher wishing to use the Fragment Society records must sign a special permission form in addition to the manuscript request form.
