Restrictions:

This collection is not open for research. The collection is restricted due to privacy regulations. Access to restricted institutional records requires explicit permission of the transferring office or its successor office. Similarly, privately donated materials may carry restrictions imposed by deed as a condition of donation, and require the permission of the donor or donor's agent. The Archives does not itself waive such restrictions, nor will it act as an advocate for any researcher seeking such waivers. The application process is the responsibility of the researcher.

Terms of access:

The nature of the Hampden-Sydney College Archives and Special Collections means that copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine despite reasonable efforts. As a result, Hampden-Sydney College claims only physical ownership of most Special Collections materials.

This collection may contain materials with sensitive or confidential information that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations. Researchers are advised that the disclosure of certain information pertaining to identifiable living individuals represented in this collection without the consent of those individuals may have legal ramifications (e.g. cause of action under common law for invasion of privacy may arise if facts concerning and individual's private life are published that would be deemed highly offensive to a reasonable person) for which the College assumes no responsibility.
