As part of its educational mission, Simmons College makes available copies of certain items from its collections. One such collection, The Daisie Miller Helyar Scrapbook digital library, is comprised of text and images drawn from the Daisie Miller Helyar Papers (1906–1910) at the Simmons College Archives. The collection, including all the text and images it contains, is owned by the Archives. Many of the materials are protected by copyright law and may be used for research or educational purposes only. However, some items have entered the public domain, and use of these materials is unrestricted. Note that materials not yet in the public domain will enter it at some future time (for more information, see http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm). Specific copyright information for this collection is included in the information that accompanies each scrapbook item.

Online access to materials protected by copyright is provided for scholarly and research purposes, activities protected as Fair Use under United States Copyright Law (17 U.S.C.A. § 107). Users may view, print, photocopy, and download these images for scholarly and/or research purposes from this site without prior permission, as long as proper attribution of the source is made on all copies.

As a matter of good scholarly practice, we recommend that patrons using Archive-provided materials credit the Archive and the appropriate URL as its source. Please credit all works in this collection with the title of the work followed by: “The Daisie Miller Helyar Scrapbook, 1906–1910. Boston: Simmons College Archives.” and the URL for the particular item credited.
