Reprographic Services

We provide a range of reprographic services. Please see our Policy page for details of these services and a list of current prices.

Requesting copies

Material can only be copied following the submission of a Request form.

All requests for copying are assessed by staff who will advise you of any physical and legal constraints affecting the copying of material. 

Copies are provided for the purposes of research or private study only. 

Permission to publish

Anyone wishing to publish material from the collections needs to submit a written request. Please use the Permission to Publish form. 

Publication may be constrained by a number of factors, particularly ownership rights and copying rights. Further details and a guide to our reproduction fees are included on the form.
