DIGITAL REPRODUCTION SERVICES

Digital Products:

The Manuscripts Department offers two types of "raw" digital files (i.e., digital scans without any enhancement or alteration):

• REFERENCE SCAN: A JPEG scanned at 100% of the original document's size at a resolution of 150 ppi. The image file is delivered as an email attachment.
• HIGH RESOLUTION SCAN: A TIFF scanned at 100% of the original document's size at a resolution of 450 ppi. The image file is delivered on CD-R.

The Manuscripts Department has limited reproduction staff and resources. Should you require an image in another file format, at a higher resolution, or in a larger size, please contact Public Services to make special arrangements.

Digital Reproduction Terms and Conditions:

The Manuscripts Department will create digital image files of unrestricted manuscript materials in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

• Researchers will complete and sign a "Duplication Agreement" for each collection containing materials that are to be digitally reproduced.
• Items selected for duplication must be properly identified.
• Reproduction of materials will be governed by any and all of the restrictions that govern the research use of a specific collection.
• Digital images will be used only for personal reference and research purposes.
• Images will not be published or broadcast in any media, exhibited, or displayed online without the express written permission of the Manuscripts Department.
• Images will not be added to the holdings of another library or archival repository.
• Your entire digital reproduction request may not exceed 25 exposures. You are responsible for tracking your exposure count for the entire copy request. If your request exceeds 25 exposures, we will only make the first 25.
• 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.
• The Department reserves the right to refuse or to limit a duplication request.

The Department does not have the in-house capabilities to reproduce:

• photographic negatives;
• slides and transparencies;
• oversize documents (items larger than 11" x 17").

If you require duplication of any of these types of materials, please contact Public Services to make special arrangements.
