These documents are to be requested the day preceeding their use before 8:00 p.m. They are made available after 9:00 a.m. the next day. ** Sheltered copies are normally not made available to patrons. Permission for onsite use of such copies may be requested from the Head of the Department of Reference & Reader Services provided that there are no regular stack copies at hand. *** The classification of documents according to different areas of knowledge was completed in 1891. Sixteen main orders were set up, including History, Law, Archeology, Philosophy, etc. Although the majority of these documents was assigned new shelf marks in the course of the 20th century, some orders still await processing according to modern standards. For detailed information on shelf marks and stacks see also the subpages of our Special Collections.
