The resources of the College Archives are available to serious, bona fide researchers. To ensure proper care and use of the College’s resources, the following terms/conditions have been established for their use:

JCCC’s Archives is a closed stack facility. This means that the materials are housed in a secure area that is not accessible to the researcher. Researchers may not browse through the stacks. The Archives staff will bring requested items to the researcher for use in an approved location that will be monitored by a staff member during your visit at all times.

Archives staff will do all reproduction of archival materials. Copies may then be removed for use by the researcher.

Archives staff will not reproduce some items due to their fragile or unique nature if damage to these items would be caused by doing so.

Some materials may have access restrictions (such as the case of materials that have not been organized and inventoried) and therefore will not be available for use.

The user of the materials will assume full responsibility for copyright compliance of all materials used from the College’s Archives.

Fees may be charged for services such as lengthy reference searches, photocopying, faxing, photograph duplication, rush orders, and publication. Archives staff will provide a copy of the fee schedule upon request.

The researcher must request permission to publish any materials belonging to the College Archives in writing prior to publication.

The researcher must agree to have the following statement accompany each published image from the History Center’s collections: “Courtesy of the Johnson County Community College Archives.”

The researcher must send one copy of any publication using materials consulted in the College Archives to Archives staff. This will become a part of the official archives of Johnson County Community College.
