  In order to make the Lehman collections easier for patrons to request and access, the access to the collections will be very limited through December 2009.  Please contact Susan Hamson, Curator of Manuscripts, if you have further questions.  Although access is very limited at this time, every effort will be made to accommodate your research needs if at all possible.  Thank you for your patience.
