We are a non-circulating library, in that our materials may only
be used at our facility at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. The Library Exhibition
Gallery, adjacent to the reference room, permits rotating exhibits
that relate to McCracken Research Library collections.
According to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center's Code of Ethics, under no circumstance may staff members appraise objects either as part of their normal daily duty or as an independent service.
