Reproduction of Materials Policy
Reproduction of items is possible in
most cases. All duplication work is performed or
arranged by Archives and Research Collections staff. On occasion, duplication will not be
done because of copyright restrictions or possible damage to the book or archival material.
Each request will be decided individually, taking into account the nature of the item and its
condition, the purpose for which the copy is required, the existence of surrogate copies
elsewhere, and the method of reproduction to be used.
PHOTOCOPIES
Photocopy orders up to 50 pages are normally processed the morning after the day on which
the order is placed, and can usually be collected by noon. In some cases, where less than 10
pages are to be copied and staff are available, the order may be processed by 4:45 p.m. on the
day on which the order is placed. Please consult Archives and Research Collections staff
regarding the completion period for larger requests.
Letter or Legal size, or 11 x 17": 30 cents per shot.
Volume orders of over 100 shots: 30 cents
per shot plus an hourly student rate for the time required to do the copying.
Current student rate for 2006 is $9 per hour.
PHOTOGRAPHS

established by that facility. Please consult Archives
and Research Collections staff for information on the types of reproduction
possible and listed charges. Orders normally take one to two weeks.
