Archive Collection Use & Reproduction Policy
The NWCHS Archives maintains a large collection of original documents, photographic collections and postcards of the local area. The Archival collection is available for study and research; however, in order to preserve original documents and photographs and to maintain the integrity of the collection, none of the materials are allowed to leave the archives or to be reproduced without authorization.
To search some of our available archival items, please visit the Archives page (a work-in-progress).
