Lost and Found Items
The DHPS is not responsible for lost items. Although access to the space is limited and closely monitored, the lab routinely holds events that will be open to the public. The lab asks that everyone be mindful of their belongings. Whenever possible, staff may collect items left behind in main lab and seminar room. If anyone feels they may have left something behind, they may contact the Center for the Humanities.
