How to request Vault Material

When a Hawaiian Collection staff member is not available to retrieve the requested item from the Vault, a prospective borrower may be asked to return at a later time.  Student assistants working in the Collection do not have access to the Vault when a staff member is not on duty.

Photocopying is at the discretion of the staff, depending on an item’s condition.
