Parent restrictions:

The collection is open for research under the terms of use of the Center for Sacramento History, City of Sacramento. The migration of requested film to a digital format for use may be required and may need specialized third-party vendor services.

The access file will be shared with the requesting patron upon completion of digitization; sharing of the master file is contingent upon licensing.
