    Abstract: The John Hay Library is open to all members of the Brown community and to the general public; any researcher presenting a valid personal identification card with photo is welcome to use the collections. A reader registration form must be filled out by users who are not affiliated with Brown University or the Rhode Island School of Design (renewable each year).

All readers are asked to comply with Reading Room regulations designed to protect rare and fragile materials. Personal computers and digital cameras are welcome at the John Hay Library. All tables in the main Reading Room are equipped with power surge protectors. Hand-held scanners, because they require actual contact with materials, are not permitted.

The Library retains ownership of all negatives and color transparencies.
