Access and use
- Restrictions:
As some of the recordings are in poor condition and listening equipment is increasingly rare, we do not provide direct access to this collection. However, we are currently in the process of digitizing the reels and are happy to provide digital copies of recordings via the FSU dropbox service. For on-campus patrons, ask for a digitization request form at the circulation desk. For off-campus users, mail AMLRef@fsu with the details of your request. Please allow at least one week for digitization requests.
