Use of unpublished manuscripts is protected by provisions of copyright law and by laws against libel and invasion of privacy. No material from a manuscript collection may be published without prior written permission from the holder of the copyright.
In signing the manuscript request form the user agrees to give proper acknowledgment to the Special Collections Department of the Z. Smith Reynolds Library, and further agrees to secure permission in advance from the Department to publish or broadcast any item, in whole or in part, from its collections. This permission may be granted insofar and only insofar as the rights of Special Collections are concerned. The Library claims only physical ownership of most manuscript collections. Anyone wishing to broadcast or publish this material must assume all responsibility for identifying and satisfying any claimants of literary property rights or copyrights.
