Conditions Governing Access
The materials in this collection will be available for scholarly, educational and journalistic purposes only, and will not be available for random browsing. We will consider all specific requests for access and use. Visitors interested in looking at the memorial items will be able to view the artifacts through the photographs and the website. The 10 oversize memorial panels from NIU’s Martin Luther King Commons, where people recorded their messages of grief and hope, have been preserved. They can be viewed on the February 14, 2008 Memorial website, http://www.february14.niu.edu/, which has the capability of “zooming in” to read the messages. The panels sent to NIU by Virginia Tech can be viewed in the same fashion. Many of the articles from the various campus memorials were also able to be saved, and are also being preserved by the Center. PLEASE NOTE: SOME OF THE MEDIA MATERIALS REQUIRE PERMISSION TO USE APPROVAL FROM THE ORIGINATING AGENCIES OR MEDIA OUTLETS.
