2. Where can I find more information about an item?
   • The descriptive records contain all of the information that the owning institution provided for each item.   The institution that owns an item may be able to provide more general information about the item.  Contact information can be found through the Ordering and Use link in the item description.   If you know something about an item please use our comments form to help us add to the item descriptions.
