Note to Researchers

 

The Ford Library staff has divided the container list for the Laird Papers into two parts.  The first covers boxes A1 to A146.  Archivists have completed the review process for all folders in those boxes.  Although scattered documents are still closed to research (and replaced with pink withdrawal sheets), the bulk of the material from those boxes is open to research without restrictions.

 

The second part of the container list covers boxes A147 to A161, B1-B3, C1-C44, and D1-D115.  Some boxes (B1-B3, C1-C44, D13-D19, and D109-D111) are closed to research pending declassification review, although Mandatory Declassifcation Review requests for specific documents may be submitted.  For example, see the open calendars of documents in Boxes C1-44.  These document descriptions are detailed enough to allow researchers to file Mandatory Declassification Review requests for specific documents. 

 

In addition, A few boxes (D90-D100) are closed under specific restrictions in Secretary Laird’s deed of gift. 

 

Folders in many other boxes, however, can be added to the Library’s review queue.  Researcher access to all of these boxes requires advance consultation with the Library staff.  The purpose of this consultation is to identify specific folders of interest to you and place them, as needed, in work queues for privacy, declassification, and related reviews.  The amount of time required to complete this review will depend on such factors as the number of requests in the queue, the amount of material requested, and the availability of staff to do the review.  Therefore you should submit such requests well in advance of any planned research trips to the Library.  To request that specific folders be added to the review queue, contact an archivist or e-mail ford.library@nara.gov)

 

As the review of individual folders is completed, the Library staff will remove the lines striking out the folder titles.
