Can I bring a personal scanner or camera tripod?

Answer

Personal scanners and tripods, or other photography equipment (other than cameras) are not allowed. Additional lighting or physical contact is damaging to the materials and is not allowed. Non-flash photos may be taken using a phone or camera. Please note: The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming to the laws of copyright, literary property rights, privacy, and libel.
