- No charge is made for standard access – although value-added research support will usually be chargeable
- The item can be viewed for personal, non-commercial research purposes. Widespread printing and copying is not permitted.
- Requests for reproduction will be considered individually, based on whether MHT owns the rights.
Access to detailed material is subject to verified online registration (free-of-charge), and is a privilege that can be revoked.
