Certain manuscripts of Merton’s remain restricted by the Trustees. The Curator will advise a reader who has requested a manuscript that is on the restricted list.

Non-restricted, unpublished manuscripts, including the "working or reading" notebooks may be read and notes taken. They may not, however, be copied, quoted, paraphrased, published or reprinted without the permission of the Merton Legacy Trust. As the personal journals have been published with a minimum of editing, access to the original holographic journals remains restricted by the Trustees for reasons of preservation.
