Guide to access and use policies

The Archives Collection Policy is determined by the purpose and mission of the Perkins School for the Blind as well as the users that the Archives and Research Library serve.

Perkins School for the Blind is committed to making its archival collections accessible to researchers according to guidelines that were established to balance access and preservation.

The focus of the Perkins Archives long-term digital preservation plan is collaboration and sustainability.

Perkins School for the Blind Archives provides reproductions of materials from its collections in its capacity as owner of the physical materials.
