History Card registration
All visitors who wish to access original material at LMA will
require a History Card.
You can register on-line or when you arrive at LMA. In order to
complete your registration at LMA you will require an acceptable
form of
identification.
You will not need a History Card to look at copies of documents
in the Information Area, or to access online or microfiche/film
resources. However, as the History Card also works as a
printer credit card, if you wish to use the full set of microfilm
printers or print from the computer terminals you will need to
register.
