Hoover Institution Archives

RESEARCH ASSISTANCE

Archival and manuscript materials may be examined in the reading room of the Hoover
Institution Archives. Reference service is provided by professional staff members for
both reading room users and persons writing or telephoning for information. Limited
photocopies of archival and manuscript materials may be furnished for a fee, in
accordance with our reproduction policy.

Staff time limitations prevent us from effecting extensive searches involving detailed
research or selection of documents for photocopying. The Hoover Institution Archives,
however, does maintain a list of graduate students and others who are willing to do such
research for a fee. After consulting the list, you should contact the research assistant
directly. Most of the research assistants on the list are charging in the $30-$40 per hour
range. The Hoover Institution assumes no responsibility for any research assignments,
payments or agreements between you and the research assistant.

Please contact only one research assistant at a time. Let that person know that if you do
not receive a response within a set period of time (e.g. three business days) you will
approach someone else on the research assistants list.

Digital cameras are permitted in the Hoover Institution Archives reading room. There is
also a self-service photocopy machine in the Archives reading room. Your research
assistant may elect to use it instead of a camera, in which case the cost, $ .15 per copy,
plus postage, will be included in the assistant's bill.
