Conditions Governing Access

The majority of the materials within this finding aid have been digitized by the History of Genomics team. That being said, there are several instances where materials were either damaged or were in poor condition. In these cases we cannot guarantee the availability or accessibility of all materials.

Some materials may contain sensitive information or personally identifiable information (PII), in which case we cannot guarantee full unfettered access upon request. The History of Genomics Team will work to make a determination on a case by case basis as to the access of materials.
