Policies
Rules for researchers The Albert Gore Research Center makes available to the public the vast collection in its care. Since we must do our utmost to preserve these materials, we ask patrons while using the Albert Gore Research Center to govern themselves with these rules, which are designed to assist staff members in the preservation and security of the archival collections.
Fee Schedule The Albert Gore Research Center allows reproduction of some of its archival collections upon application and approval by the Director. The center must charge certain fees to cover the costs of services rendered. The Fee Schedule will inform the researcher regarding submitting a duplication request and the costs associated with reproduction of materials.
