The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum

The use of digital cameras and cell phones for taking photographs is allowed without a flash. Tripods are allowed in the research room. Document scanners will be approved by the supervisory archivist on a case-by-case basis. Cell phone calls must be placed and received outside the research room and staff areas; usage is allowed in the library lobby and outside the building. The library has equipment for making photocopies, sound recording, and limited digital reproductions of materials in its holdings. The National Archives sets a standard fee for mail order reproduction services. Please review the reproductions fee schedule for current fees. Photocopies are sent by regular mail. Advance payment is required for large orders. Alternate shipping arrangements (i.e., FedEx) can be made at the researcher's expense.  

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is one of 15 Presidential Libraries operated by the National Archives and Records Administration. Presidential Libraries promote understanding of the presidency and the American experience. They preserve and provide access to historical materials, support research, and create interactive programs and exhibits that educate and inspire. Public programs and exhibits at the Eisenhower Presidential Library are made possible in part through the generous support of the Eisenhower Foundation.  

Researchers should submit a Researcher Application, an Oral History and Copyright Agreement, Reference Service Slip forms, and notify the library staff by email or telephone of their research topic and travel plans as far in advance as possible. The Library's finding aids and subject guides are also available to aid in research preparation.
