XEROGRAPHIC SERVICES

The Southern Historical Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, and the
University Archives and Records Management Services will create limited xerographic
reproductions of unrestricted manuscript materials in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

• Copies may not be added to the holdings of another library or repository.
• The following items will not be copied: bound manuscripts, oversize items, fragile
  or damaged items, and items available on microfilm or available online.
• The Collections reserve the right to refuse a duplication request in whole or in
  part at any time at staff's discretion.
• Researchers will complete and sign a "Duplication Agreement" for each collection
  containing materials that are to be reproduced.
  
• Items selected for duplication must be properly identified.
• Your duplication request will be reviewed and assigned a cost quotation after you have
  completed your research and indicated that your duplication request is complete.
  
• Reproduction of materials will be governed by any and all of the duplication restrictions
  that govern the research use of a specific collection.
• As clear copies cannot always be made from original materials, copies are purchased at
  the risk of the requestor.
• Reproductions will be used only for personal reference and research purposes.

U.S. Copyright law governs the making and use of most photocopies and other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Most manuscripts, sound recordings, photographs and moving images created in the past 120 years are protected under copyright law. Transmission, reproduction, publication, or presentation (public display, performance, Internet presentation) of protected items require the permission of the copyright owners. For more information on copyright, contact the U.S. Copyright Office (http://www.loc.gov/copyright/). Copyright status and information on copyright holders can be difficult to determine for archival and manuscript collections. The responsibility for obtaining permissions rests with the researcher.

Manuscript collections and archival records that include twentieth and twenty-first century materials may contain sensitive or confidential information that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations, the North Carolina Public Records Act (N.C.G.S. Section 132 1 et seq.), and Article 7 of the North Carolina State Personnel Act (Privacy of State Employee Personnel Records, N.C.G.S. Section 126-22 et seq.). Researchers are advised that the disclosure of certain information pertaining to identifiable living individuals without the consent of those individuals may have legal ramifications (e.g., a cause of action under common law for invasion of privacy may arise if facts concerning an individual's private life are published that would be deemed highly offensive to a reasonable person) for which the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill assumes no responsibility.
