Permission to make any published use of any material from the collection must be sought in advance in writing from the University Archivist, Special Collections. Identification of copyright holders of unpublished material is often difficult. Special Collections will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.

Further deposits are not expected.

Further letters and papers of John Drinkwater are located in the Letters Additional artificial collection in the Special Collections Department. The Library also holds a very comprehensive collection of Drinkwater's books, mostly autograph copies.
