It provides assistance to research- ers in the proper and productive use of research materials by including information on locating material, using facilities, understanding access restrictions, and citing library holdings. Please direct questions on these and other matters concerning the use of library resources to the reference staff. As in the 1990 edition manuscript collections and oral history interviews are listed in alphabetical sequence. Part I on Conducting Research contains an interlibrary loan policy statement, research grant application forms, and permission request forms. Researchers may printout and photocopy the latter to expedite requesting permission to use certain collections or oral history transcripts. Keep in mind that, except for U.S. government agency records, the holdings of the John F. Kennedy Library are donated histori- cal materials. They are materials that were created by private individuals and were donated to the Kennedy Library under terms and conditions specified by each donor and accepted by the Archivist of the United States. Access to each collection or oral history interview is determined by a formal deed of gift or deposit agreement. The library staff strictly adheres to these governing instruments in administering library holdings. Telephone 617-929-4545, Fax 617-929-4538 AUDIOVISUAL ARCHIVES The collections in the library's audiovisual archives are the result of donations by government agencies, newspapers, television networks, private organizations, and thousands of individuals. Different in form from textual documents, these materials are a rich and important documentary resource for studying John F. Kennedy's life and administration. The core of the audiovisual archives comprises photographs, films, and sound recordings made by White House personnel from 1961 through 1963. The library also holds significant collections that document the activities and careers of Robert F. Kennedy, other members of the Kennedy family, their friends, associates, and contemporaries. The following pages list and briefly describe the library's audiovisual archives. Detailed finding aids are available in the audiovisual research room.
