There are several requirements for a researcher to get access to the park’s archives. Each researcher or team has to fill and submit a number of forms before they can access any part of the archives, photos, films and maps. It is advised that the researchers get appointments before visiting the park as they might find particular collection closed due to maintenance or any other reason upon visiting.
