On visiting for the first time, users will be required to produce proof of their identity and to sign a form to confirm that they will comply with the regulations for use of the library and archive.
Users will be further required to inform the Abbey archivist/librarian of the purpose of their research in as much detail as possible. Please note that the archivist or librarian will then only be able to provide advice on what materials to consult; users will themselves need to conduct their own research using the archive and library materials provided. Users will need to have the necessary linguistic skills and ability to read historical scripts. Users must follow the instructions of the archive and library personnel at all times.
The materials may only be consulted in the reading room under supervision. Users are not permitted to enter the archive itself. Private individuals may not borrow archive materials and books for consultation outside the reading room.
Only suitably organised and non-sensitive archive materials that are not subject to the non-disclosure rules of the archive (i.e. materials must be from dossiers closed at least 50 years previously and, in the case of person-related materials, the person concerned must have died at least 30 years previously) or other confidentiality requirements will be released.
Users must treat the archive materials and books released to them with appropriate care, leave these in the same order as found and replace them correctly in the labelled boxes or folders when returning them. Users are strictly forbidden to make notes etc. in archive materials or books, to use these as writing pads or to stack open archive materials and books on top of each other. To ensure that materials and books are handled with the appropriate care, users will be required to wear the gloves provided. Users are not permitted to use ballpoint or fountain pens. Users will be held personally liable for any damage they cause to archive materials or books.
