RESEARCH COLLECTIONS
Members and the general public are welcome to consult the vast and important research collections that the Club maintains on the history of exploration and the history of the organization itself. Researchers who wish to consult materials in the library and archives (and other collections) may do so only by an advanced appointment with the Club’s full-time Curator of Research Collections. It is the aim of The Explorers Club to provide researchers as much access as possible to the research materials (i.e., books and records) in its care. Use of our collections is governed by the following rules (and others as emplaced by the Board, Executive Director, or Curator in conformation with best practices): Permission Permission to examine research collections will be granted subject to restrictions placed on the documents by donors, or on Club records by the Board of Directors or its Officers. Access is by confirmed, advance appointment made with the Curator of Research Collections. Research Researchers consulting archives or library materials will be supervised at all times. Notes may be made with pencil and paper or on researchers’ laptop only. The use of pen or other permanent markers is forbidden, as is the use of cameras and portable copiers or scanners. Pencils and pads are provided for researchers, as is a grounded socket. Security Bags, briefcases, coats, etc., are to be deposited in the Coat Room upon entering the building, as these are not permitted in the collections or reading rooms. The Club reserves the right to inspect articles brought into the building before the researcher leaves with them. The Club’s research collections and visitors to it are monitored by closed-circuit television at all times. Preservation All material from the archival collections must be studied under the supervision of the Curator. The Curator is responsible for ensuring the safe handling of materials by researchers and will instruct users accordingly. No Food Allowed There is no eating, gum chewing, or drinking allowed among the collections (bottled water with a secure cap is the only exception, and must be placed apart from collections). Publishing Permission to examine or photocopy archival or library materials does not constitute permission to quote or publish (including electronic publication). Copyright The researcher, whether a Club Member or not, understands that he or she is solely responsible for conforming to copyright and other applicable statutes. The Explorers Club is not necessarily the owner of copyrights of art, photographs, film, documents, or archival material in its collections. Permission to publish must be obtained by the researcher from the rightful owners, The Explorers Club, and otherwise.
