Teleconference Proceedings, 1992 November-1993 October

Distinctive Collections and Archives (the Department) has implemented special procedures to protect the privacy rights of American Continental Corporation (ACC) customers, insure the continued integrity of the American Continental Corporation Records Collection (the Collection) and provide our patrons with prompt and efficient access. All users of the Collection are required to read and complete an Access and Use Agreement (available at https://libguides.asu.edu/ld.php?content_id=43252431) before access is granted.

In the Access and Use Agreement the user agrees not to publish or publicly present in any fashion personally identifiable financial information derived from the Collection regarding individuals that have purchased real estate, financial services, stocks or bonds from ACC. However, permission for publication of personally identifiable financial information will be extended if the user can provide to the Department documentary evidence that the information in question has already been made public through prior publication or through inclusion in the official records of the State of Arizona or the Federal Government. Compilations of statistics including financial information that do not identify individual customers will be reviewed on a case by case basis and may be approved for publication by the Head of Distinctive Collections.

The user also agrees to hold any personally identifiable financial information (e.g. credit reports) of ACC customers confidential and agrees to hold harmless Arizona State University, the Arizona Board of Regents, the State of Arizona and their officers and employees from all claims, damages and costs, including attorney's fees arising from the users use of and access to the Collection, and all claims of violation of privacy rights of individuals represented in the Collection.

To view this collection, make an appointment at least five business days prior to your visit by contacting Ask an Archivist or calling (480) 965-4932. Appointments in the Wurzburger Reading Room at Hayden Library (rm. 138) on the Tempe campus are available Monday through Friday. Check the ASU Library Hours page for current availability.

Patrons are limited to examination of one box at a time and are asked to use paper markers to maintain the original position of a folder or document within the box. Ask reference staff for instructions in marking materials for photocopying. All other Reading Room policies (e.g. use of pencil) apply to use of the Collection.

Reproduction or publication of all trial deposition videotapes (except those of Jack Atchison) was restricted until January 1, 2004. A copy of Judge Richard M. Bilby's July 10, 1995 court order regarding access to deposition transcripts and videotapes is available from the head of the Distinctive Collections.

When requesting materials, researchers must provide the applicable box number; series and subseries name(s); and series and subseries accession number(s) so that the correct box(es) can be identified.
