Photocopying policy
Photocopying policy
Due to the fragile nature of much of the School's archive material, items may only be photocopied by the Archives team.
Photocopies of particular pages may be ordered at 15p per A4 page and 30p per A3 page (1 page per photocopy) plus £2 to cover packing and postage within the UK (payable in advance), and sent to the requester. Where delivery to a non-UK address is required, requesters will be sent a pro-forma invoice. Please note that photocopying cannot be done on a while-you-wait basis.
There are some items that can not be photocopied, as this would cause damage to the material. Damage can be caused through excess handling of fragile items and, for example, handling of large bound volumes which may be placed under pressure in an effort to obtain a better image, leading to stress on the structure of the volume. This damage may not become apparent until much later. Ultra violet radiation and light levels can cause damage if an item is subjected to multiple or frequent copying.
The decision as to whether or not material can be photocopied lies with the Archivist & Records Manager.
Alternative arrangements will be considered for the duplication of large material.
The use of digital cameras is allowed, please see the Digital Camera Policy for further information.
