Background

In the course of his research Ned discovers a Beinecke collection with material he needs through a Google search.  He first wishes to speak with a curator to determine if the material in the collection is really what he thinks. After a discussion he determines that the collection does have material he wants and he would like to arrange a visit to the archives at Yale. To get the most use out of his visit, he wishes to order the material to be available for him to look at on a specific date.
