The Oklahoma Historical Society Research Center
(opened in 2006), combines the state archives, library and newspaper archives, do have a few
rules and regulations to keep in mind when going "loaded for bear". You will
have to have photo identification, sign in and get (or bring) your OHS Center
research card, use pencils only, turn off cell phones and pagers, follow
recommendations about white cotton gloves (provided) when handling some
archival material. Note there is no smoking, eating, or beverages allowed in
the research area. Plan to have pencil and paper with you in the research area
- you will be provided with an easily accessible locker for everything else
(includes phones, cameras, research notebooks, purses, etc.).
Microfilm readers are "first come, first serve" and are located in the archive area.
Quick Tip: Sometimes, depending upon volunteer staff, fanny packs are allowed to be kept with the researcher.
