Anyone wishing to use materials in the Reading Room must
fill out a Reading Room Application. Please read the descriptions
below to determine which application best describes your
intended use of materials in the Kilby Reading Room. You
may print off the appropriate form below and fill it out
prior to your visit, or you may pick up either form at the Wade
Center upon your arrival. Once completed, the forms will
remain active during January to December of the current
year. Subsequent visits during the year do not require
a new form. There is no fee attached to either application.
Casual Reader Application – If you are not working
on a specific research project or planning a publication,
please fill out this application. “Casual Reader” describes
those who use Wade Center materials for personal enjoyment
or study.
