You may bring in your laptop, but not its case. The reading room staff
will be happy to offer you Hoover Institution notepaper free of charge
for taking notes. All personal property you bring in must be examined
on exit. For this reason, you cannot bring in purses, wallets, cameras,
scanners, cases for any technical devices, overcoats, hats, bags, notepads
and binders. Lockers are available for storage of personal property.

Q. What should I do if I want to donate materials to
the Hoover Institution Library and Archives?
A.
The Hoover Library and Archives collects primary source materials of
permanent research value. The types of documents we collect include
diaries, memoirs, unpublished manuscripts, autobiographies, important
correspondence and memoranda, leaflets, pamphlets, reports, studies,
photographs, and other material that contribute to a better understanding
of historical events and major public figures. We generally do not collect
printed or published matter or items of a personal nature, such as awards,
commendations, personal scrapbooks, collections of clippings from readily
accessible newspapers or journals, business records, and the like. We
do not collect copies of documents readily available elsewhere.

you would like to discuss a possible donation of historical papers,
