Digitisation Service
Special Collections offers a digitisation service for our rare book and archive holdings wherever possible.
We aim to complete all copy requests within one week of the confirmation of your order (please note your order will only be confirmed once payment has been received).
Occasionally, legal restrictions or the fragility of an item will prevent us from offering this service. We will advise you further in this situation.
Please note: If you want to check the detail of an item remotely, we also offer a Virtual Reading Room Service, where you view material remotely without charge.
Make a note of the title and reference code of your book or archive collection, together with any specific page numbers, and then complete a digitisation request form.
£3.00 per digital image (£2.50 + VAT), and £1.80 (£1.50 + VAT) for subsequent orders over 10 image.
Separate charges apply to requests for images from the Gertrude Bell Archive.
When consulting material, users are permitted to photograph material themselves free of charge. This is subject to completing the copyright declaration forms which can be provided by staff on your visit.
The Library has no additional charges for commercial and non-commercial reuse. However, you must:
- seek copyright permission from the creator or designated third party where copyright exemptions do not apply.
- acknowledge the University Library appropriately.
