Research access
Material that cannot be displayed publicly — restricted previews, rights-limited scans, deposit collections — remains available to approved researchers with a defined purpose, under watermarked derivatives and citation guidance. Faceted archive search arrives with the structured database in Phase 2; until then, records are fully covered by site search.
