MANUSCRIPT DUPLICATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Our duplication policies are the result of our attempts to balance the needs of our researchers with our responsibility to be good stewards of our collections. In practice, this means that our ability to permit document duplication and deliver reproductions is constrained and often delayed by a number of variables that include United States copyright laws and statutes, the physical condition of our manuscript materials, our obligations and legal commitments to our donors, and the Manuscripts Department's finite staff resources. Given these realities and the research needs of our patrons, the Manuscripts Department recommends that researchers use a hand-held camera as their default document duplication strategy.

However, if you are unable to use our manuscript materials in person, we will duplicate select materials for you in accordance with the terms and limitations expressed below as well as the particular requirements that pertain to our remote patrons.

If you have any questions or concerns about the duplication policies that are discussed below, please contact Public Services at mss@email.unc.edu or 919-962-1345.
