History Card
registration
All visitors who wish to access original material at LMA will
require a History Card.
You can register online 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.
