Policies and Forms for Libraries with archives



Hello archives world,
I am working with a library to organize their historical records along
with some manuscript collections that they have.  The collections have
been organized, now I need to develop the policies and procedures for
handling them.  Here is the situation, it will be an open reading room
with no direct supervision but the materials must be retrieved from
closed stacks by a library staff member.
What I want to do is a brief instruction guide on how to use collections
(care and handling type stuff) for both staff and patrons and a
registration form.
Does anyone have anything that's used in such a low security area?
Any suggestions of what to include?
I want this to be simple since there will not be a whole lot of
supervision.

Please send suggestions by email or regular mail ...
Thank you
